As a crowdfunding expert I have some issues with this page.. No detailed info is given, no proof of any is given (like doctor reports, etc), what will happen with the money when you dont reach your goal or what will happen with the money when you get more than you actually need (it needs more details). All you have is 1 picture of the child? Show more, with family members, yourself, etc. 500-2500 pounds? Show people what chair you are buying, why are the chairs more expensive than others? Sorry, I am not donating untill this campaign looks 100% valid..
I really hope that the rest of you wouldent get scammed.. If you are serious about raising money for your neice.. make a serious, detailed project.. Sorry for being sceptic, but there are too many alarm bells ringing..

I have plenty of photos of this beautiful baby girl. Its genuine,
The cost of the Travel seat can be anywhere up to £2500 as she will require a specialist chair customised for HER. These things cannot be done until you have the money to do so. Its fine if you do not want to donate because you are sceptical. I am not willing to share Doctors notes or personal information to that matter, which i hope you understand..

The whole thing about crowdfunding is being as transparant as possible, if not, ppl will be sceptic.

Thanks for a constructive post Zyar!!
I will save the template, it is very useful and informative. I guess we started the whole thing for friends and family who know the problems she has faced this last year, I should have been more prepared when posting on a public forum, so I understand your worries.

Sad circumstances for many reasons. Im surprised the NHS or some Government Department dont help with things like that. Disabled/ elderly ppl get the electric zoom arounds for free.
Youd think some kind of help was available from the state |
