Planning on donating tomorrow when I get paid. 

Just a thought though, I haven't seen it mentioned but Bens family already seem to be having a tough time before this news. Maybe if enough is raised to get a brick, donate to charity. Some of it could be used to help funeral costs?

I’d said to psb but he’s spoken to them and I assume it’s not something they’ve requested.

 

Yes mate specific response was to put it to either a mental health or Rangers charity with some of it to be used for something at Ibrox permanently

Edit: if that changes at all, I'll obviously let folk know. If we raise a lot and the family have a specific wish then we'll accommodate it for sure

Barely been on the last few days, just learning of this now.

Seemed a great lad on here, and going by the words of those who knew him personally it'll be a huge loss to many.

RIP Ben 😢

Good to see you back mate 

[Moody Blue Legend 61,774]

Magnificent response.  Hopefully those closest to him get to see the impact he had and take massive pride in what must be unbearable for them.

Thanks mate. 
 

I still read a lot of the forum most days as my own form of escapism in a way and still like to get a good laugh at some of the posts in the OT just never saw the need to post. 
 

It’s crazy how someone sadly passing that you have never met can totally sideswipe you in a way you would never expect and invoke feelings of other sad times where it’s happened a lot closer to home. 
 

I really hope everyone is ok and takes good care of themselves and those around them. 
 

All that being said PM’s are always open for anyone who ever needs a chat.

They are reading the posts in this thread and tracking the fundraiser. As you say, hopefully it's making them very proud. Ben helped a lot of people in his short life, and even after he has gone now he is going to help a lot of people with all of this money.

Thanks for that.

Amazing to see the response this has gotten, hopefully some gives the family some solace at such a hard time reading all of the great things people have to say both on here and the fundraiser comments

Massive well done @psb07158 for organising this, truly heartwarming to see
