Subject: RE: Carthy Family needs assistance
I'm not seeing negativity either. We are invited to contribute money to a family that many would be surprised to hear is in financial difficulty. Fair enough. Details are sparse, though no-one should have to air all their affairs in public. We all get that. The fund is still open and, at a fiver a pot, has netted £67000. That would be more than enough to sort out several families in financial difficulty. Many of those families haven't got access to a public platform to ask for donations. These are plain facts, not negativity.
I'm off to Morrisons soon. I haven't suffered from financial privation during this pandemic (due to nothing more than good fortune) and I'm going to put a stash of stuff in the food bank basket.
