I think fellow Tattlers I’ll say my piece and then I’ll leave it at that.
I donated to Shannens GFM because she was a young girl going through Transplant the same as me. I’ve been around the cancer block for many years and been friends with many transplant patients not here to tell their tale anymore.
Briefly my transplant process was horrendous my husband had to work there was a mortgage to be paid so I spent a lot of time on my own both in hospital and the apartment. When I did get home even though I had to travel to Dublin 3 times a week as I was still technically employed I was turned down for Free Travel. I ran up huge debt in a year related to travel and hotel costs when I was too ill to come home.
When I read about Shannens story my thoughts went to my debts and also what treatment would be available if she relapsed again. My thought process was make things a little easier for this family. I actually had no issue with her purchasing a car I vividly remember my husband’s heap of crap breaking down on the Motorway as he was driving to James when I got bad news so a car would be a great help to her.
My issue with Shannen initially started one day when I was watching her stories she was trying to flog vitiams, now to patients who are on treatment or immunosuppressive medication these things can be toxic. I then read her update on GFM that she was going to pay the excess funds forward and change some life’s and I thought that’s amazing some people who couldn’t possibly raise funds will get a little bit of help. A bit of help to keep the heating on longer or pay the orthodontist bill that’s not getting paid because mum/dad now has cancer.
The the barrage of lies started, the constant calling TROLL, the blocking of anyone who asked a question and of course the treatment of our Missy Brenda, a lady with style and grace. As a transplant survivor myself I have the deepest of empathy for what Shannen has gone through.
She is so lucky to have survived we both are. However hand on my heart is someone had offered me 1000 euro from their GFM to cover a months trains when I needed it I would have kissed their feet.
So from my perspective the money is gone and Her half hearted apology to Brenda is the only one she will ever get. We will never no the truth, she can’t remember her own lies. I wish her the very best of luck and good health going forward, she’s going to need it Ireland is a small country and it’s people have long memories.
