I follow a woman who has breast cancer.
She was diagnosed in 2021
She set up a go fund me to look into other therapies.
She had chemo /radiotherapy on the nhs and had clear scans.
This go fund me raised £70,000 so far
She's been going on Florida holidays with her kids,lavish days out,showing designer bits etc
Whilst posting about herbs and alternative medication she's apparently buying with this go fund me.
Anyway turns out she isn't a single mum and her partner earns £111 k a year (yet this go fund me is worded like she's on the breadline )
Anyway now she's posted that they've found another little node so she's on full steam ahead asking for money again.

Now I lost my mum to breast cancer but this doesn't sit right with me.
Her partner earns a fortune (she never posts him ) yet wants money off strangers to pay for herbs and apparently a drug in America.

Does this seem off to you?
Now obviously she has cancer but I very much doubt the go fund me as bought anything but holidays and lavish gifts for the kids.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

I agree these people are grifters, but there's no stopping them so I just don't give strangers money.

Well when I found her page I felt bad for her.
Then found out about her wealthy partner and all the holidays etc and my sympathy reduced.
