I’ve never commented on Tattle, but after seeing the GoFundMe still open, it made me sick. I recently and unexpectedly lost my mum in a traumatic way. She now leaves behind her 14-year-old daughter (my sister), all alone. Money will never bring a loved one back, and I would never suggest that it could. However, receiving £72k and still keeping the fundraiser open is pure greed. As well as being paid for interviews too.
There’s only me, my younger sister, and another sister, and we're now scrambling to find roughly £3k, not even considering the future of our 14-year-old sister. It genuinely makes me sick. She gave him a nice big funeral, which was most likely free. Even if it wasn’t, it wouldn’t have touched the £70k. If only those of us who have lost a loved one could receive a portion of that—it would be life-changing.
I’m sorry for the rant. I am truly sorry for her loss it’s one of the most indescribable pains ever. But if I were in her position, I would donate to those who don’t have much for their loved ones' funerals and to some nice charities. We plan to do that even with borderline nothing.
