Katiecutler Fund

[smurfchops]

That lovely girl who helped raise money for Alan Barnes, the elderly man who was mugged. She had her own fund yesterday, where has it gone ? It isnt available any more.

She raised £329,566. Go Fund Me levy 8% for admin costs etc and will take £26,000! A nice little earner for them!

I think the OP is referring to this http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/new-fund-launched-gateshead-woman-8559643 Katie Cutler did say in this article that she doesn`t want the money so maybe it was closed on her request

I didnt realise the Alan Barns fund had been stopped.Someone had started a fund for Katie as well, luckily I gave to Alan's fund in time. I wonder why Katie's fund has been stopped.

I only hope that good advice is given to spend the money wisely, giving him a decent quality of life long term.

I suspect the vultures are circling though.

I thought it was a lovely gesture to help poor Alan Barnes and what a deserving person he is, bless him he has struggled all his life and I hope they find those horrible people that mugged him.
