I saw US$25m. What's that, about 20m pounds? Good job Tom and all the people that donated
Nice to see good news for a change, eh?

Oh my goodness ..... £25,423,755.06!
People are being incredibly generous at these times. A 49 year old ex colleague of mine sadly died of Covid while self isolating at home this week, her mother who lived with her had died 4 days before. A parent at her 7 year old son’s school has set up a fund for him which has already raised £23,187.

Bowie:
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"

@trev33 saidJust Giving have agreed to include their 10% ‘admin’ fee in this case 😮 Someone had a brilliant idea coming up with this kind of thing. Not sure who came first, Just Giving or Crowdfunding?

@very-rusty saidRight on! Rusty
Perhaps have the politicians who vote for not giving the nurses pay raises to go work in the hospital for a 12 hour shift, see how they feel about it afterwards.
