Aww this is refreshing. This is how it should be done! I would still only donate if I knew and trusted the person (or it was going direct to the charity). But if this is genuine it’s nice she’s doing something to give back to the hospital rather than for themselves.

Sophiekitchx has made her insta private now. Go fund me link is still in the bio though. What do they need this money for, coz accommodation doesn't cost £100,000? A sick child doesn't automatically entitle you to money off the public.
Doesn’t one parent get accommodation from the hospital too? I think the baby is at GOSH? They’re not that far away either, I think they live in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire.

Renai's Dad has opened a new company and possibly a new house move.
He has never confirmed what happened to the rest of Renais GFM.

I can't find renais dads insta anymore, does he still have the same username?

It's crappy if he is using the money for a new house an holidays, but for some reason I don't think renais mum is in on it. She just seems like she's struggling a lot an my heart breaks for her.

What’s silvalining foundation? Is this a foundation renai’s dad created? It’s in his bio a link then from that the original GFM which was over 250,000.

It’s terrible for anyone to have to go through having a child with a serious illness, but these types really don’t do their cause any favours.
They say the the hospital only provides accommodation for one parent, so that’s the case for every set of parents with a child receiving treatment there.
What makes them so special?
Why should they be given donations to help them financially?
Their aim should be getting the child through his treatment and on the path to recovery, that should be their focus not all this woe is me regarding something like the hospital facilities for parents.

There are so many children needing treatments that aren’t provided in the nhs. It seems wrong that some parents are getting funded to stay in luxury hotels when some would probably sleep on the pavement outside the hospital to secure the money for the treatment.

I’m not hugely bothered if they fundraised for their accommodation. I personally think it’s crass but I can understand how they want to be there together and that felt like the best way to make it happen.

But I am bothered by the fact they have raised almost £90k now, and aren’t addressing what the money will be spent on once their accommodation costs are covered.

The fact it’s still being posted, and most recently, alongside things like childhood cancer awareness is extremely problematic. These were two slides that came one after the other recently. Not sure when but in the last few weeks as this was shared in a Mums WhatsApp group I am in as one of the Mums here is horrified by Sophie’s actions, I don’t follow her so since her switch to being private I rely on this Mum for what’s happening 😂

I agree I don’t think she involved either, in fact there appears to be bad blood, I don’t even think she follows him.

I’m not sure if his username, I’ve never followed him but I heard on the Ashley Cain thread (the best teacher in how to scam a child’s cancer fund) that he had made his page private

I found his page, it was public for me. Also noticed they don't follow each other, did they ever? I remember seeing pics of them embracing at renais funeral, an thinking aww how lovely that they can come together for their daughter an support each other. When you say bad blood, is that just the impression you get on has someone said something?

He followed mom, she never followed him back then when renai passed he unfollwed her. I get the impression theres bad blood as those funeral photos of them embracing seem to have been removed from moms page, along with the post she done for him on fathers day.

Well let’s face it if Natasha is not involved in any foul play with the remaining funds, she will categorically know about it and will not be in agreement, I imagine she knows that she could be implicated even if not involved 🤨 she will regularly have been asked about the money directly, that is guaranteed.

Yes i agree. She is too busy grieving to worry about spending money! She went on one holiday which i think her friends paid for aswell. Tbh i think she would find it upsetting that the money for renai isnt being used to help others. Just my opinion from what I’ve seen on her page

I don’t think for one second Renais mum would do anything like that. I didn’t think her dad would either as they seemed comfortable at the start. I can’t remember but I’m pretty sure they did pay for renai to have the meds from Germany in the uk. However don’t quote me as I’m not 100000%

i agree tbh.
they were comfortable before her diagnosis and seemed to live the same kind of live before so i highly doubt he is using the funds to benefit himself.
