I disagree, they are still asking for money,,, why? This is posts from tonight, silver lining foundation,, not registered 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
the go fund me is closed … so where are they asking for money?
also that account he has simply changed the name to the foundation , they had previously been using that account way back when renai was diagnosed.
---
But we still havent heard what happened to the funds?

Seems a bit sus to me, new house 2/3 holidays abroad and set up a new business 🧐
like i said before you retry sure he works as does his new gf it seems like she took him abroad several times
how do we know they haven’t moved in together.
i just don’t think they’re scammers like other people tbh 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m
Not aware of his gf or his housing arrangements, I never mentioned them, or the fact he works.
I’m talking about an IG page named Silva Lining Foundation (which isn’t an official registered charity or foundation with the Charity Commision) an upcoming football match to raise funds, via said ‘foundation’ IG page, with a link to Silva Lining IG page, with a link directing to Renais’s previous Go Fund Me that was used for donations for possible future treatment, (which shouldn’t be advertised anywhere since she has sadly passed and quite correctly donations currently disabled)
What is Silva Lining Foundation for exactly? No where does it state? You tell me, you appear to know more than us.
I don’t need to retry, i am not trying anything in the first place, I’m stating what is there in black and white:-
A request to get people on board for another upcoming charity match, this was posted on the 28th of February. This is exactly where they are asking for money, linked to Silva Lining Foundation, linked to the previous GFM which details are now incorrect, since Renais didn’t make it.
Hope this explains it better.

I dont know anyome in the real world who would buy/save for a house, whilst going on multiple holidays a year AND set up a new business, how can he be assured he can afford to pay his mortgage? Most new businesses fail to make a profit in their first year 🧐
Even if he is substantially well off and worked throughout renais illness, he still hasn’t stated where the money went. Dad was the beneficiary of the gfm. I think they have moved in together by the looks of it but regardless, most of my mates who have bought do not go on multiple holidays a year as they simply cant afford to save deposit money, furniture and holidays.
and yes, the charity… what is it raiding money for? Renai has passed away? They’re not really being transparent about what the football match is raising money for? Hopefully not for his house!

Yup, thrilled for them he is home and special it was on Mother’s Day, too.

But given the GFM was specifically designed to cover their costs (in a very boujee hotel) I presume the balance of the £91k will be sent to a Children’s cancer charity or GOSH so other families can be helped?

Have you reported the fundraiser?
I haven’t 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I said this to my friend .. I saw the button but I just don’t have the heart to do it (hoping they are going to forward the funds on). I’d like to think they are going to address the funds and what they are going to do to help others with it?
If not … I’m sure/hope karma will get them back somehow 🤷🏻‍♀️

I understand. Maybe give them a week or two but after that they should shut it down. And if they have a heart they wouldn't keep all the money

I'm sure with 91k in the bank you wasn't living on hospital food or microwave meals.... 🙄
The baby has been discharged home since Mothers Day 19th March and appears to be doing ok but the GFM remains open with donations still going in even though it was to help with ‘living expenses’ whilst he was in hospital. The husband has gone back to work so why is the GFM still open and not donated back to GOSH or something. God forbid the child was ever readmitted they would be more prepared and can find their own expenses like other parents do. Disgusting it remains open even though they’re back in their own home living comfortably with no mention of the huge sum that has been donated.

completely agree. Even if the argument is he may need to be re admitted there are options. They could say they are closing it and with what’s left, they are keeping a third in a bond incase it’s needed, a third to GOSH, and a third to a children’s cancer charity, for example.

I dont think they ever should have set up a gfm. Sorry. They are not short of money i have no doubt in my mind they could have afforded a hotel. Im not sure about GOSH but BCH have a ronald mcdonald. Was GOSH parent rooms not up o standard for them? Look at their house, clothes, everything. They are clearly not short of money. I know parents who travel from far, unable to see their other children or partners for months on end because they live SO far away! A 2 hour drive is nothing

Yes they look like they have a lovely home and the husband is working and they have lots of family and friends around them from what’s being posted. It seems these days that people on Instagram or their loved ones who are unfortunate enough to develop cancer or any other life limiting illness feel the first thing to do is open a GFM. I get totally pissed off with it tbh. It’s just crass. There are many poor families struggling with other kids or parents with young kids who have cancer but still go to work because they have to. Some of these influencers seem to make a career out of someone being sick or terminally ill. It’s truly deplorable. And I don’t want to watch her in the hairdressers. Couldn’t care less. Just glad I didn’t contribute towards it via GFM.

People are just greedy 😤 and then you have innocent (or naive) people who think they are doing good. GFM needs to banned or more regulated in some way
