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

A wonderful Day for soop. A memorable one.
It is truly an amazing achievement that you will have your Operation soon - you must be able to feel the love of all your family and many friends wrapping around you.

You deserve this dear soop ?

And ……. Thank you Aveline for starting this thread. I believe it was this last push which clinched the target ?
Also …… thank you to Mrsoop who replied to each and everyone of us when we donated. He is a ⭐️Star and soop must love him to bits ?

Well done gransnetters and particularly to Aveline. I feel privileged to have been a tiny part of this campaign.

Please may I remind everybody that the full amount required is £25,000 and her family is rallying around finding the remainder.

It does appear that it will be done very soon which is fabulous.

Wonderful news, so very glad Soop will now be able to have the treatment she needs.

And a big thank you to Mr Soop for the lovely messages he's sent.

Fantastic news! Well done everyone, brilliant effort. Happy Christmas Soop and Mr Soop

Fridayschild Tue 21-Dec-21 09:22:31

I hadn’t seen any of this but spotted it today and have contributed a little. It would be good if the soops got a bit more that they are asking for. They will still have to find thousands and although “you can’t take it with you” it’d be nice if they didn’t have to find as much. I do hope it all goes well for Soop. ?

Witzend Tue 21-Dec-21 09:43:15

Done. ?for reaching the target soon.

Marydoll Tue 21-Dec-21 09:47:51
