Just saw this on a FB post - Raquel's crowd funder is still open and she has a long way to go to reach her stretch target.

Her case has been heard and the abuse, bullying and harassment that she as a doctoral student new to the UK was subjected to was horrendous.

Not as high profile as other legal cases, but nevertheless important for all of us.

Raquel's case resonates so strongly with me because many years ago, I too was a foreign student, in a foreign land, sent to further my education. I was warmly welcomed & chose to stay, but I was also aware many others found it hard to transition to UK Culture & left.

In my culture, when you invite someone into your country & take their far higher international tuition fees, you treat that person with courtesy + respect, not hounding & bullying for knowing Biological males are NOT female.

#Lawfare is expensive, but her case shines a light on why many young girls are silenced at British Unis' abt the realities of female material reality & the erroneous impression that Gender Critical is a movement for only old, white, middle-aged women.

I was so touched by the British Sisterhood shown to Maya. Let's wrap Raquel up in that same fold.

One day, your young daughter, niece, sister, granddaughter, god daughter may be at University, far away from home, finding her feet, and if she is able to speak up freely about the material reality of being female, it will be because of Raquel.

Let's did deep, please!

Done, thanks for raising

If anyone's still struggling to find the link it's on this page. Scroll down to the university challenge picture and it's next to that.

It would be easier to find if it was in a prominent place on the home page. I ended up searching the whole site for it.

I've just donated too. Thank you so much Raquel. You should not have to be doing this but I am so grateful that your are.

I could not find the link on your page and had to do a google search. You might want to make it easier to find.

Creeping up closer to 100k now. Best of luck @RaquelRosarioSanchez!

Apollo441 · 25/03/2022 16:29

Done. Good luck.

Mumsnut · 25/03/2022 12:54

I have shoved a carrot or two in

Songsparrow · 25/03/2022 12:51

Thanks for the reminder, I have planted a few carrots, also took the opportunity to watch an interview she has posted on her site, she is very impressive

If Raquel wins the case will the other side have to pay her fees? I do hope so but not vice versa.

morningtoncrescent62 · 25/03/2022 12:21

Thanks for the reminder. My monthly top-up of digging equipment is due next week so I'll pop along to Raquel's allotment when it arrives.

ChristinaXYZ · 25/03/2022 11:28

Thanks OP.

sellotapeblues · 25/03/2022 10:27

I've just dug. Raquel shouldn't have to lose financially in this way because of the shameful way Bristol have behaved. The best of luck to you with the case and the completion of your PhD.

dolorsit · 25/03/2022 09:39

Yes I had the zero authorisation but had an email confirming the amount I had donated. Not hit my bank account yet but that does take a few days.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/03/2022 09:34

I think this is because Crowdjustice take payment later, it doesn't come out straight away. It's fine, they just take a penny at first to pre authorise your card. Try again.

Scorchedterf · 25/03/2022 09:22

I’ve had the same problem, tried to donate £10 plus the £1 crowd funder tip. Verification with my card company showed £0.00. So I cancelled the donation.
Also Rachel, it was difficult to find the link to fund you on your website. I think the donation links should be more obvious and easier to find.

SeaRabbit · 25/03/2022 06:44

I've just tried to give some money, and while it said the amount I'd pledged on the penultimate screen, the donation I was asked to approve was £0. I'd removed the Crowd Justice 10%, but the donation itself should still have gone through.

Added some more to the pot. Flowers

Redshoeblueshoe · 24/03/2022 22:32

Raquel Flowers

PaleBlueMoonlight · 24/03/2022 22:29

Have just added a bit more to this.

Twitterwhooooo · 24/03/2022 20:49

You're most welcome Raquel.

I'm going to share your crowdfunder round my networks again (tomorrow, once the WPUK meeting has died down in my timelines, and I'm sure that others will do the same.

What happened to you made me feel ashamed and embarrassed to be a UK citizen tbh, and very concerned about the utter state of the HE sector here.

Done a bit of gardening too. Best of luck.

Chrysanthemum5 · 24/03/2022 20:06

Just had a little dig in the garden. We are all behind you @RaquelRosarioSanchez

OldCrone · 24/03/2022 19:59

@drum123

Can someone point me in the direction of the garden? I realise I can't be taken there directly!
This is her website. You should be able to find it from there.

@RaquelRosarioSanchez that's absolutely terrible that you have lost all your savings!

Well done and thanks for reminder!
