A young lad suffered a horrific accident on holiday in Ibiza necessitating brain surgery. The insurance covered the medical fees there but the cost of a medical flight to get the boy home to be close to his family was quoted at £25,000. What to do?
His girlfriend’s sister organised an appeal this morning, by teatime the full amount was raised. That right there is what you call community action. The very best of Britain.  |  |

The Lad is from Ystradgynlais (I used to live next door to his grandparents) terrible thing to happen, sincerely hope the injuries won't leave any long term disabilities. |  |

Yes Jack, I don't know him personally, but I know his parents (his father is nice funny bloke).
They must be in bits with worry. | |

Yes it must be, although the good people that donated to the appeal have taken away one of their worries. | |

Do you know what I find most heartening about this? The fact that a lot of those who contributed won’t really have got much in the way of an excess of disposable income but didn’t hesitate in subscribing.
If the only source of information on human nature came from the news you’d be forgiven for thinking that the world is a very dark place indeed. Then every so often something like this occurs and you realise it’s not such a bad place after all, that there are a Hell of a lot of good people about. They just don’t make the headlines. | |

A mate of mine (47 yrs old) had a spinal stroke that has left him almost totally paralysed. about a month ago.
A FB page dedicated to the working spaniel folk (sport we're both involved in) held a stud auction for one night, it raised £16,500 in that one evening.
Yes! people can be bloody awful, but there are some awfully nice people as well. | |

It's usually ordinary people, some with next to nothing, who keep giving.
Whereby the richer in society just look after themselves. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

My daughter did a shopping packing thingamejig to raise funds for a local hospice. Raised a lot in Asda but not much in M&S. Those that have keep it for themselves, that's why you'll see collections outside Asda, B&M etc but fewer outside Waitrose and M&S. I hope the young lad makes a full recovery. |  |

This is true for the most part but you have to ask why “ordinary people with next to nothing” keep on believing the politicians and voting them in time and time again to do the same thing ?
Sorry, didn’t mean to derail the thread.
A big well done to the community. |  | | |

That's a remarkable amount of money to pull together in that amount of time. |  | | |
