Im so sorry you went through thatHate one for kids funerals, they are free, we had to have one. Not only that everywhere we went for the extras either did it free or at a massive discount l the lady who did our flowers charged 100, when we went to collect she gave us the little card to write on. Asked which one and I said daughter, she asked was it for my daughter and how old was she. I said stillborn and yes mine. She then said ok that’s £20, she ended up charging for just the few flowers she had to order in. All the flowers she had in stock and her time were free, the lady who did the speaking usually charged a couple of 100,. But she also did it free and said if we did pay her she would just donate it straight to a baby loss charity, and all said they would never want to profit from a child’s death.
As far as I am aware once Reanai passed they did remove the GFM link.That’s fair enough if her friends took her away but where’s the mention of the gfm money none of them apart from Sophie’s legacy are giving back
Renais GFM has been closed but no mention of where the money is. I dont think renai ever had treatment so a substantial amount should be leftAs far as I am aware once Reanai passed they did remove the GFM link.
I cant find it now so I assume they closed the GFM.
They haven't mentioned if they had remaining money or what they will do with it.
The dad has been away a few times.
I just really feel for the mum.
I have a bit of a soft spot for the Mum. Not sure why as I don't know her
Was she not on some medication from overseas. Cant remember.Renais GFM has been closed but no mention of where the money is. I dont think renai ever had treatment so a substantial amount should be left
Feel the same about Renais mum. She just seems so lost. It was just the two of them by the look of it, though I think the dad was still in her life but she’s left such a void in the mums life and I feel so sorry for her especially at the moment as I think she got her diagnoses around this time last year. It’ll be a hard Christmas for her like so many others who have lost loved ones. As for the GFM, no idea what happened with that but she’s not living extravagantly like Ash and Saf on donated money from what I can see. Don’t know about the dad. I don’t follow him.As far as I am aware once Reanai passed they did remove the GFM link.

Yes she was and she was actually booked to go to Germany I believe it was to receive a trial treatment /procedure . She then took a turn and I believe the hospital then disallowed her to go.Was she not on some medication from overseas. Cant remember.
You just don't hear about it, do you?! And in addition, It shocks me how very little gratitude is given to those who donate.Has there ever been a positive ending in these situations when the parents handed all the remaining cash over to a charity for example?
I don't donate to GFM for this reason. I have donated to Just Giving, because the money has to be paid directly to a registered charity, Go Fund Me can go to anyone and there's no comeback if any donor feels that the money hasn't gone where they thought it would.You just don't hear about it, do you?! And in addition, It shocks me how very little gratitude is given to those who donate.
Very rarely see a post, following on from a GFM, saying 'I would personally like to thank you all for donating...this is how we spent the money'.
No instead, their posts are aimed at 'trolls' who dare ask how the money will be spent.
I honestly think that these fundraising sites require more scrutiny. There's a lot of vulnerable people on Facebook who will donate. Family and friends feeling the pressure to donate.
GFM is not 'charitable' by any means. If it was, then they would completely stop this nonsense by paying straight into private bank accounts and allowing donations to go straight to a pot that can only be paid directly to a funeral company, for example.
If money is going directly to a private bank account, then there needs to be clear transparency made on GFM.
That one for Bella-Rae Birch annoyed me. The baby who was mauled by her parents dangerous dog. Bella-Raes mum was on GFM the same night of that attack wanting horse drawn carriages, doves and parties.
She now wants to start a charity.
Apologies i didn’t realise she was on treatmentYes

That’s what I ment personalised coffinHuge get together celebration party for the parents complete with unlimited drink and expensive makeovers for all.
Your child won’t know if you did have your nails done and a new pair of shoes.
Best send off means a slightly prettier coffin or some flowers …down the line a headstone not halloween tat.
Got to keep the parents appearing influencer ready.
