Re: Sick British Expat DAVID WOODS Needs GoFundMe Help to Get Home
Is he on a few years overstay also?
Because a flight, one way to the UK, runs as low as $400.

Well, actually it's a legit comment. They either fund a regular trip by plane and all, needing maybe a thousand or two (in case business class is required), or they need an air ambulance in which case they're looking at 100k+. 10k is an odd number for a trip to the UK.jd1965 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 2:45 pmDon't be a dick, if you haven't got anything useful to contribute.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 12:28 pm Is he on a few years overstay also?

I dont get it and maybe i am callous but, I feel sorry for anyone in a position at 50++ years old that doesn't have friends or family, ( he even has 2 sons) to donate this small amount.. If i needed only £10,000 for anything,
i could raise it with 1-2 phone calls.

He did make a few bob out of selling up to the Chinese, his guesthouse had a good location and I think maybe eight rooms. Maybe that's already gone.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:49 pm I dont get it and maybe i am callous but, I feel sorry for anyone in a position at 50++ years old that doesn't have friends or family, ( he even has 2 sons) to donate this small amount..

Re: Sick British Expat DALE WOODS Needs GoFundMe Help to Get Home
I hope Dale' s family will be ok. I suppose there' s no way that they can go to the UK with him ? Isn' t there an obligation to prove that you have enough money to support your family ?
Hi Dale. Hope you get things sorted. Good luck.

Re: Sick British Expat DALE WOODS Needs GoFundMe Help to Get Home
The bloke looks at least 55. Surely by that age you would have enough savings or have enough family or enough old mates to rustle up a combined $10k in an emergency without having to go web begging?

That, plus what about the obligation to support yourself? He's been living here for 10 years and no medical insurance or $$ for a one way ticket back to his home country.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 6:04 pm I hope Dale' s family will be ok.

I know quite a few guys from my home country that are here coz they're on a low income old age government pension and they can live better here in KOW than back in their expensive home country. So, that makes good sense with the exception of.... when they get sick! Then, not enough money for doctors or hospitals here so what do they do? Wanna go back to their home country for the free medical/hospital services...
And so, like many other gofundme stories we've seen here, here we have another where they seek help via charitable donations for their plight. No responsibility entered into..
