Scottyarf37 963 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I know we have the pinned post at the top but concerned not many people have looked for any updates. I am impatient, and we need a lot of likes and share. Please help. Afternoon guys, as you know I posted earlier asking to help,I have been in Contact with Mark and with his and his Families blessing I have set up a Facebook page and plan to run an online Auction, Gather prizes and administrate and update the page with Marks assistance. I have a few items at the moment for something I done similar. (Signed Scum Top (I know but funds required) I have 2 tickets to a Sunderland Home game, Tour of Ibrox, Signed Hamilton Ball, and will use my contacts to get a lot more item's from resturants and Distilleries. Mark has told me he has a few football related items too. I need as many of you to like and share the page, get as many people as you can ready for the Auction starting.If you have any other ideas let me know. If u have anyone you can contact for donations please do. https://www.facebook.com/For-Joshua-1597946450501970/ Let's show the world what a club and fanbase we really are.

RFC55 108,933 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The action and fund raising for this wee boy has been pathetic.(not a dig at mark or anyone on here) 100k to get to America should cost each Ibrox punter at a full house at Ibrox around £2.06p. (Bear in mind I'm not including away fans) People like to kid on they care about folk in Palestine and the likes so donate 10 and 20 quid to their causes. Facebook, Twitter the lot is full of people who want to join in "crazes" to recive likes and shares. They want to put things like "wee umbeke doesn't need to walk 9 mile now as I donate 8quid and that gets him a well" This wee guy is one of our own and the apathy we show as a support is pathetic at times. Ffs £2.06p from 47000 would have this wee guy getting the surgery he requires in the US. Sorry for the rant but it infuriates me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure enough of us on RM would turn up and do a bucket collection at a game and raise the money in an afternoon but apparently there is too much red tape to allow it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the rant but it infuriates me While you're right in what you say, and while you're not having a dig at RM members, I still think it's only fair to say that many folk on RM have been working as hard as they can, with what little they have, and have taken it, virtually single-handed, from £300 to £9k in 5 months. The vast majority of donations have been from RangersMedia members, or from leads generated by RangersMedia members. (apart from the recent £2k brought in by Sun Readers) By my reckoning, we currently have 5 threads promoting it in Bears' Den Compare and contrast... http://forum.followfollow.com/showthread.php?1082556-My-wee-teddy-bear/page4 So yes I agree, there's a problem, but it's certainly not here on RM! Oh and if the Club would give us some proper support, we'd probably get on a lot better too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread by KAI is a great example of that. I just wish It was easier to raise the funds the wee guy needs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottyarf37 963 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 It was part of the reason I wanted to help so much... Page is now set up, I have a fair few items together already and will guarantee a lot more. I have spoke to Mark and he is happy with me doing this. I only heard about the story yesterday, and it genuinely affected me. I have spoken to people in work and plan on holding a wee night and raising more funds. I more than happy to add items to the Auction that people want to collect and Pm me pictures or message the page I know we can make a huge difference. The Past is the Past and we don't have the luxury of time. Let's all pull together and do out own bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUILDMYGALLOWS1986 413 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't post here often but I would like to do my bit to help as I would hope the same would be done for any of my two children. Due to work commitments I will now not be able to attend the 1st old firm game of the season at Ibrox along with my 2 kids. I would like it if Govan blue could arrange a raffle/ auction for the tickets with the proceeds going to the wee man. Both kids tickets can also be upgraded to adults if this is done far enough in advance. Tickets are main stand rear. Cheers Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The page has nearly 100 likes in a day, I have invited everyone I know to like and share the page. If everyone on her does the same. Plus marks family and friends I think we will do well. The last Auction I completed the page only had 344 likes and we raised over 4400. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
