I thought go fund me was more for a charitable cause and not for lazy bar stewards.

Ha ha mallyh, is that all you need?

Not only is the job done but those who contributed have been well and truly done.

"Nicole Fennelly, 22, launched a GoFundMe page to raise £400 to pay for a return flight to visit her mother and two sisters in February."

Airfairs aren't that expensive if you book in advance, Norweigen Air are SO cheap, you can do London -NY or Atlanta for $150, so I imagine Canada wouldn't be that much more expensive. Cheaper than I can get to London from my house on the train :(

There's one thig I don't understand - how have people been done?

They have read her page that asks for £400 to get her to the target of buying a ticket in time to see her Mum.

These people had choices, they used those choices.

I am not going to donate to her and her target is reached - she aimed this originally at 'Family & Friends'.

The Media have whipped you up, not her.

Mally , post a link to your page;-)

\\ help this one young lady get home for the holidays//

she is home.

[johnny.5]

home is where the heart is and for this young lady that is in Canada with her family over Christmas

[Jackdaw33]

...and home is Liverpool, not insignificant in the context.

[webbo3]

did you know if you say "gullible" really loud and slowly it sounds like oranges.

[sanmac]

She came back to Liverpool because her grandmother had died?

[johnny.5]

no it doesn't

[fender62]

Whilst I have and never had any intention of contributing to this appeal (others have and fair play) - where does it say she's not working?

is it time for an outing of

A scot won the pools and his dear wifey sayd
och dear but what aboot the begging letters ?
and he replied - - - keep sending them out!

It actually says she's been doing overtime Mamy therefore she works, I dunno why if people don't want to donate they still feel fit to *** off anyone asking for help. Just don't donate. She was only asking for £400 towards her air fares, it's not like she'd dreamed up some scheme where she'd get rich and never need to work again.
