Help! / Crowd Funding
19 March, 2024, 02:04:36 PM

Has anybody any advise on how to crowd fund? As I have stated in another thread my V best friend (No offence to you guys) hasn't got very long to live. I want to do something nice for him preferably before his condition makes it too difficult for him to enjoy it.

There is one ambition that I think would be achievable... organising a visit to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria Germany. Any money spare would go to the Parkinson's charity.

Dose anyone have any recommendations as to which crowdfunding platform to use and how to gain the attention this project needs to gain the funds.

I'm going to an advice place Monday. But thanks for the help. (You can't see anyone from CAB for at least 6 months around here. Luckily Adrian knows people.

Unluckily Adrian doesn't actually have Parkinson's.. he has Parkinson's+ (yes that IS it's name ) Yes it is real. Yes he will be lucky to live longer that 10 more years. He is my best friend, I don't have many IRL friends. (No offence to you fine folks but I only know you from the forum) and I am going to lose him. Its not right. He doesn't deserve this.

Well now... Finally managed to be accepted for a bank account...

But only because I got a council tax letter in my name saying that I now owe £448.72

And another latter saying that as my mothers executor I owe £598.30 in council tax for her.

And another letter DWP demanding repayment of £407.00

And another letter from mothers private insurance demanding repayment of £1800

THERE IS NO MONEY.

mothers life insurance can't be found and even if it was it wouldn't cover all this.

The landlord wants me to leave ASAP as he claims he is selling up & retiring.

I don't even have the money to see to my mothers remains...

Happy birthday to me eh?

3 out of the 4 catalogues mother had has cancelled her account and have dropped the payment of the balance she owed. Except Very. They sent a solicitors letter wanting payment!

Can't get a bank account because I don't have any documents supporting the fact that I live at this address... Unless I get a polling card anytime soon... can't really wait until April.

Mother HAD no assets How do you prove a negative? And they know she is dead. That's why they contacted me.  >:(

And now I have a letter from HM Revenue & Customs asking me to prove that mother had paid the right amount of tax. How the F**k do I prove that?

Okay, have you tried kicking the living daylights out of it, hammering it with a sledgehammer, running it over with a steamroller and then dropping a low yield tactical nuclear device on it?  Then turning it back on again?




:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Sorry violence didn't work either.

Thank you NapalmKev for this information.

Things may be worse than I thought. I contacted what I assumed was a company that had a life insurance policy and they can't find it. Now I was told it might be lost in the system and that I need to send a copy of the bank statement with the direct debit showing but if they can't find it well... There is nothing to bury my mother with. I am still awaiting my passport without which I cannot open a bank account... Ahgh!

Well finally got mother's death certificate. Monday is going to be hectic with phone calls as I try to explain to 4 catalogue companies and a credit card company that not only is my mother dead but the "estate" is totally in flux and no, there will be no more money to clear her accounts.

Thank you so much Barrington Boots.

Just found a phone message from the registry office, they now cannot process my mothers death certificate because they now don't have her medical certificate. When they called my first they said they had everything needed and all I had to do is turn up.

I had one appointment and they were apparently ready then to process the certificate the so WTF?
Will have to wait for their call tomorrow to see what happens next.

AND I got a letter from the housing benefit office saying "we don't accept applications for an increase in your benefit until October 2024"

The Landlord should know this because this is what happened last time.

There is one thing I would ask someone urgently to do for me.

I donated £2.500 per month to this charity.

https://www.mrlumpyandfriends.com/donate

I can't do that anymore. Can some kind soul subscribe?
