Hawkeye will speak to Jackie and we will see what we can do. Great - but is it possible to do something that doesn't involve paying for the service - like "Just Giving" do (others may be available)?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 If it comes to it I will accept and log payments to an account and then send the money raised onwards. Waiting on getting clearance from Martins family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done a pool before through PayPal, not sure how it works, I think you set up similar to your own account and people can then pay in after requesting the address.

hawkeye Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Well the good news i have spoken to Jackie today we had a long chat, she has seen martin and he is trying to speak the odd word and has started to lift his right arm the hospital could be moving him in the near future to a recovery home. Chris is getting on OK she is doing his shopping for him and she thinks the sisters are doing bits as well. Asked her about a collection she said Martin would be against it and she was worried that anything he gets the social services would take it from him.. And as for giving it to Chris he would just spend it as he has no real savvy about money, she said knowing Martin he would just give anything to a charity i personally think it could be a good idea, worry about what he says when he is up and about. Jackie seems to think there could be a big change in him in a few months he seem so determined so fingers crossed she is still having difficulty visiting due to the sisters so she calls him on FaceTime on the mobile.. Im all for the collection but i don't have time to sort things out myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Nothing stopping any ‘collection’ being used to fund something to ease his recovery? The system sucks when people are worrying over receiving money that may or may not, exempt them for the Government assistance that they currently receive!

Mice! Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Pretty sure a gift wouldn't affect any social payments, plus how would they know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Okay, if you would like to donate to the Lord Geordie Fund Raiser, please PM me and I will reply with the details. I will keep details and gather the collection together and then we can get it to Martin and his lad Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 What is he likely to need when he gets out of hospital. Are you wanting to get him a nice to have present or maybe something to help him if he is left with a problem from the stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdadphil Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Dave Fwiw I understand that NHS workers (those with NHS email address for ID purposes) can get a good discount on Apple products. Might you have contact with someone eligible who can assist? there may be other sectors who also qualify for a discount best Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
