rabc10000 5,061 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hi guys. Totally unsure about a title thread but here's the background. 12th August youngest daughter whose only 8 was diagnosed with leukemia. Cutting to the chase I spoke to a couple of members in here about contacting the club about a possible get well card. However despite contacting the sender and Rangers charity foundation I never received a single reply from the club in any form whatsoever. What really pains me is that my daughter despite being in hospital for the best part of 4 full month's is she has had 5 zoom video calls from various celtic players along with various goodie bags, merchandise and numerous gifts. While I genuinely accept the good will from them I really are very disappointed that my/our own club have not been in touch with the children's hospital at all. Pains me that in her toughest time she will remember all the goodwill from them and not s thing from our team. Anyway rent over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However govanblue helped out initially so big thanks where it's due. Just really annoyed to an extent and frustrated I now have an 8, year old daughter who has had everything celtic wise thrown at her. Not only celtic but some rugby team I believe glasgow warriors along with Patrick thistle as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,777 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Might be Covid, might be other pressures on staff - who knows but it seems that someone has dropped the ball big time - that response is very unlike Rangers. I think when the people that matter hear this, they will be very unhappy. Above all, I wish your daughter the very best and that the whole family can have the best Christmas possible. I would try again, perhaps through the SLO, on Monday or Tuesday. Take care and I hope 2021 is a much happier year for you all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnx mate and yeah 2021 surely can't be worse than the last 6 months or so. Totally get what u mean and I did think it was unusual that we/Toni was never offered the zoom calls with the players at all. Initially I thought we were unlucky with the timing but after being in here since early August I began to think otherwise. Also the slo was tagged in my initial posts along with the other member whose family member was worse of than myself but personally I never seen any reply whatsoever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this is the case because as you say it is very unRangerslike, to rabc10000 i wish you the best of everything mate and your daughter is driving you mad soon like any 8 year old does, roll on a better 2021.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Rab Terrible circumstances and you're right to think the club could do something to bring a bit of excitement and happiness to your young un. I'm sure there's folk in here who can help out, and will. I wish you, your daughter and your family every ounce of health and joy in 2021. No surrender.

ger4life_1872 29,516 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Sounds pretty poor from the club , hopefully someone picks up on it now and they can try arrange something in the new year , best of luck to her and hope 2021 is better for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,936 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Anyone who has been on here for a long time will know I had a close contact at the club, anyway when my best mate died Rangers gave us a top signed by all the players for him to be buried in and also one for the auction to raise funds for his kids. It used to be a thing the club done well so it's disappointing to know its changed like this. Celtic also donated a top for raffle but charged us 50 quid for the chance to do so. I contacted the boy I know to try arrange something for my mates grandad but got nothing. My mates Mrs had to basically shame them into doing what we had asked. I don't know why it's so bad these days. What I will say is though the only thing that matters is your wee yins health mate so all the best to her and yous.

pcbear 10,913 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I honestly think if Stevie Gerrard was aware of this somehow, he would be all over it, the most important thing is for Rabs daughter to get back to full health. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hope for the best for your wee girl mate. Really surprised by this. My mate is a celtic fan and does a lot of charity work and always has said Rangers and massively better at celtic in this area and far more generous.

East Enclosure Row N 2,823 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Almost everyone who works in offices at Ibrox including admin and the charity foundation have been furloughed. So bottom line, is that there is nobody there to deal with your request, or any other requests. The country is sadly in the midst of a killer epidemic and unfortunately, many things have had to suffer. The Rangers Charity Foundation have an excellent reputation for going the extra mile, especially where kids are concerned. Having a pop it them in 2020 is a bit of a low blow. If you want to compare anything that our club does compared to the bheasts, then you have no place in here in my opinion. I've chosen my words carefully.

KaiserJon 12,393 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I saw the Christmas zoom calls the players did to the kids in Christmas the other day. Got to be someone in charge of organising that so someone is still doing something regarding these type of activities.

My wee mate @Mr Sopranohad to get onto the SLO for an issue I had. He ignored my emails and it took the aforementioned poster to sort it for.me.and it was done in days. Maybe if you don't have twitter but know a bear who does get him.to message or worse, if you know a tarrier get him to shame him into it on twitter. Wish I could help mate but all the best to your family and the wee yin. If you do a raffle I've an old 2000 red away top I'll donate in size small man's if you want it. Its in pristine condition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the poster has done is said Celtic have gone above and beyond for his unwell little girl whilst nobody at Rangers has got back to him. Was the SLO furloughed? Isn’t this within his remit?
