Quote A car smashed through the front of a cafe sparking a huge blaze that engulfed the premises and flats located above. Theres a GoFundMe page for the occupants of the flat too, who've lost everything. Edited October 13, 2019 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BigAl1 143 #11 Posted October 16, 2019 The odd and sad fact that many of the crowdfunding schemes do in fact raise quite a lot I have seen a number for people who have accidents abroad and had no insurance. Sure there are things where crowdfunding may be a valid option but not as a substitute for insurance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sure there are things where crowdfunding may be a valid option but not as a substitute for insurance OK, I'll bite. You're right, crowd funding is no substitute for insurance but this is so far removed from what has happened here. I'm pretty damn sure the occupants of the flat didn't have a discussion when they took the lease out on the flat thinking "don't worry, if the flat burns down we'll just get a whip round on Facebook". People have been involved in a particularly unfortunate incident, through no fault of there own and some members of the public have shown sympathy by donating some cash. It's not compulsory, if you don't want to donate just ignore it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
