How on earth have they amassed over $3k after that .... talk about fools and their money.
I assume because people feel so much sympathy for the mother as her child has died,but the cold reality is,it will not bring her back. And the Mother,as bad as this sounds must be just as bad to allow this to happen in the first place.

Mickey Rourke using GFM to beg for money shows what a mockery the platform is, imho.

They need to tighten it up and stop people abusing it via using it just for random shameless begging.

I decided some time ago I was never going to donate to anything on GFM because it seems so open to scams and chancers.

Word is that he has come out and said it wasn’t him and he would rather shoot himself.

I'd bung him a tenner for "Angel Heart" , "Heavens gate" , "the pope of Greenwich village" "Body heat"and "Year of the dragon" TBH.
I'd expect a thankful email in reply though.

They say "He doesn't have a bank account".........So how does he get paid for movie roles?
Exactly my thoughts.......I wonder if he owes his manager money, so she was going to take a chunk of the GFM before giving him the remainder. It's very shady. From what i can gather from various articles, he did know about it imo (that part may be debatable though, and I know hes denying it).....I'm not sure he fully knew what GFM was though, I wonder if he thought he was signing up to a Patreon style account. His manager seems shady imo, and probably gave him vague details to get some funds coming in. Shady.

He was such a handsome man.
Had the potential to be one of the most accomplished actors of his generation..
He acted Robert De Niro (who was still on form back then) off the screen in "Angel heart"
Sad to see things are that bad now (if they are).
Sorry to ramble.

Jake Wood asking for money for a worker on Eastenders.

GFM says £15k needed, but then set target at £30k !!!......plus they are unsure if insurance may still pay out.....

Why do people rush for money, instead of waiting for insurance. What happened before GFM? Does treatment really get put on hold? Are insurance companies known for taking ages? Genuine questions, as I've never been in that situation....

Either he wasn’t insured, he was pissed/on drugs (so insurance won’t pay out) or it was deliberate. Medical travel insurance would definitely pay out. I’ve had a load of emergency medical care in the U.S. and I never saw a bill

Why are British men so incapable of travelling without falling off the balcony?! Thank God we don't have many here, it'd be carnage.

I'm doing a lot of work on my house and haven't had a holiday since 2019. Why should I give my money to some dude who can afford a holiday when I can't?
