As most of you are aware there's a Just Giving appeal for one of our own -
Soop. I know many have contributed but wonder if others are just flipping past the 'Grade four rectal prolapse' thread.
There's less than £1500 till target. I wonder if some of you who have had to cancel meals and drinks out would consider contributing what you might have had to pay for those to Soop's fund? She has an awful condition and her situation is complex. Please Grans, think of contributing. sunshine

Well said Aveline. soop needs this surgery so much, please help if you can.

Pittcity Sun 19-Dec-21 17:06:33

It's actually on Go Fund Me.
Search for Soop and it's the first result.

Aveline Sun 19-Dec-21 17:09:56

Good point pittcity. I thought they were the same thing!

Nortsat Sun 19-Dec-21 17:17:23

Thank you Aveline, I had indeed skipped past the thread and was unaware of the Crowd Funder.
I have made an anonymous donation and was pleased to have the opportunity to help in a small way.

Fingers crossed … the total seems reasonably achievable.
Good luck, Soop.

Thanks Pittcity for the information, it’s really easy to find. ??

Marilla Sun 19-Dec-21 17:24:04

I appreciate you telling us where we can make a small contribution.
I didn’t realise it was on Go Fund Me.

I'm so pleased to find this thread and am in the middle of reading the long introductory thread.

Soop I am so sorry to read what you're going through and had not realised just how bad it is.

I'll look for the crowd funder. Meanwhile I am sending you gentle hugs, and my thoughts are with you. xx

MrOops and I are pleased to contribute and hoping that Soop reaches her target very soon.

tickingbird Sun 19-Dec-21 18:31:13

Pleased to help. I hope Soop gets the help she needs very soon.

Lucca Sun 19-Dec-21 18:35:05

I had no idea. I shall do it now

Lucca Sun 19-Dec-21 18:39:11

Done. Really hope this gets her the treatment she needs and deserves. I wonder if the title if this thread should be even clearer ? Eg Soop needs your help ?

Auntieflo Sun 19-Dec-21 19:11:05

Aveline, many thanks for making this a clear route to the fundraising.
I donated as soon as I heard of it, and am so pleased that it is doing so well for Soop.

Aveline Sun 19-Dec-21 19:56:40

Auntieflo I blew it by getting the name of the donation site wrong. Thank goodness pittcity put in the right one.
I see there has been a big flurry of donations! Brilliant. Grans to the rescue as well as Soop's intrepid family!

GrannyGravy13 Sun 19-Dec-21 20:10:55

Let’s help soop reach her target ??

Millie22 Sun 19-Dec-21 20:18:04

I'd skipped by that as it's not something I'd normally look at. Wishing soop well from Mr M and me. I'll check out the link.

Sweetpeasue Sun 19-Dec-21 20:24:54

I'm so glad I managed to get on the Go Fund Me details just now, having tried unsuccessfully before.
All our best wishes for your op Soop.

Sofa Sun 19-Dec-21 20:53:19

Done! Hope you reach the target very soon. Very best wishes.

Aldom Sun 19-Dec-21 21:08:53

Just checked Soop's Go Fund Me page. £13,921 So many donations are coming in thanks to this new thread.
Not far to go now.
Good luck Soop shamrock

Justwidowed Sun 19-Dec-21 21:13:41

Thanks Lizzie72 for the link.I'd tried many times but couldn't get on the right page.I won £25 on Ernie this month so have donated the same.Hope you reach the £15000 by the end of the year.

Blossoming Sun 19-Dec-21 22:05:43

Gransnet doesn’t allow posting of links to GoFundMe pages Lizzie72 as GNHQ mentioned in the original thread, so I think you’ll probably find it removed soon.

allsortsofbags Sun 19-Dec-21 22:06:28

Put my bit in, hope you get the treatment you need. flowers
