The family will receive a huge donation thanks to the Campaign, However It’s a disgusting 10% they take, the account will be published once it closes for total transparency Sample below Graham set it up for me with speed being the essence, we thought they might charge a nominal fee He has assured everyone who donated that 100% would go to the family, looks like it will finish at £8k so he now needs to find £800 If we keep this in house for now while we work on a solution I’d be grateful, I do not want any stress put on the people who the fund was set up for , they have seen the accounts and are aware of the horrendous amount of commission, which as you can see, and is no surprise, is taken immediately upon donation I mentioned extending the fund Message from Nith Valley Via Graham Thank you very much Graham, but I think it's best we close it now. I spoke to the family about this aswell & they agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should be out of pocket for this, far less the guy who acted with speed to get it up and running, 100% of the money donated after charges is going to the worthy benefactors, so if 8k turns into 7,200 by the sites stealth so be it, its a sore hit but remember the target was 5000, the way to look at it from my eyes is that the fund is 2200 to the good. I think you were thinking even 5k was a big ask, so it has been a spectacular success, albeit we wish that it never existed and Ryan would be going about his normal Friday business, unknown to most of us.

I always expected the total to be reduced by the usual % so, I don't think this should be an issue at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,691 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 My RSC (Ayr True Blues) have donated £300 to a just giving page for him not sure if it's this one just received a text today saying we had. Also know that the East Ayrshire Loyal are auctioning off some stuff to raise money. A cup semi ticket and 4 tickets for Hamilton away (which Hamilton donated to them) are a few of the things if anyone is interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic effort from VB also. I think the effort by everyone has been exceptional. Well done to you guys too If you have some good Fund-raising going on around your area, maybe you could have a look at young Joshua Adair's Appeal. Heartbreaking stuff for a Wee ?
