Good man!

Why 110?

Is that some sort of NF adjustment, like on time?

Just a thought - not sure if you have heard of Presidents Choicebut we always donate at the cash register when we shop in Superstore as I know of a couple of parents that have applied for their children and recieved grants for all they required

There really are no words for this, what a terrible thing to have happened.

Rosie sounds like she has a real independent streak in her, I'm sure that fighting spirit will help her in the months ahead. It's wonderful how the BE community has rallied around, I love this site occasionally.

Wow!

And 333 donors on that site (so far) that's a lot of good vibes for young Rosie.

So sorry this has happened. So very difficult, and as a mum I can only imagine.

So glad it has brought out the best in people. I don't know why human beings ever bother to be so vile sometimes when they could be doing this sort of thing all the time.

The fund has now topped $26k. The goal has been altered to show $50k instead. This is of course not including the RBC account and other fundraisers that have taken place.

People can be just wonderful.

I've enjoyed your contributions on BE for years, none more than your donation, but it never occurred to me that you were a mum, not a dad.

Not to worry, you aren't the first person that's happened to. I have a deceptive user name, chosen in haste when I thought I would just drop in to look around and wasn't planning on staying....
