Ahh. Right. I keep forgetting that she isn’t technically a writer. I just think everyone can rattle words off like I do.
Well. In the beginning, I was expecting a total rebuff, with evidence. Then when I got further into research, I was thinking it would be a half/ half situation where she donated some and kept some. By the time I wrote it, I didn’t have a clue where it had gone
The trouble is, with complete silence, after numerous attempts to contact them for a comment, it can drive you up the wall. So I’ve taken a step back.
No one will ever know how much as it’s all unregistered income. Often there is very little that can be done in the end x
Hi yes. Sorry.
I came on to the thread to voice concerns about the PTWM content. I felt the she was using other people’s vulnerable positions to push her account. (Namely people’s personal stories re suicide or violence or MH difficulties etc) so I was concerned ethically whether that was a good thing to do. I’m a freelance writer (when I can be bothered) and I saw other people’s concerns about other things and started to look a bit deeper in Rachaele and the page.
I found that charities that she claimed to have been raising money for with a PayPal donation page on her website, where not receiving donations. She was also not registered as a charity and the money unaccounted for.
Then I looked into her book and found that she had manipulated her story into a series of accounts where she was the victim. I contacted people, got there accounts and it turned out that she was not really a victim ever, of anything much. One person told me she was a compulsive liar.
So I wrote it all up and people read & shared it. I have tried very hard to get the truth and been met with silence all the way from the PTWM team.
So right now. There is not much of a story. She will carry on and the only people calling it out will be on here.
That’s the long story short version
