British Musician SIMON STAYS Needs $10,000 USD to Pay Overstay Fees & Leave Cambodia (GoFundMe)
The girlfriend of a British expat, Simon Stays (who seems to be a traveling musician), is trying to raise over $10,000 to help him pay his overstay fees, which would be almost 3 years of overstaying his visa in Cambodia, costing $10 a day for each day overstayed. He fell sick and has spent over $5,000 on medical fees, but now he just wants to pay his penalty fees and head back to the UK to get proper medical attention.
All the information is on a site called GoGetFunding, and so far they have only raised $137 of a $11,000 goal. He says his passport was stolen 3 years ago, and it looks like he didn't do anything about it at the time, and it now in a terrible situation.
From the GoFundMe page:
Help Simon to get medical treatment
My boyfriend Simon is a really good guy that shines bright and makes people around him happy. He lives a life of a traveling musician and performs live gigs everywhere he goes. Some of you may remeber him lighting up the evening with his energetic stage performances all around Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia as well as Philipines and parts of Europe.
Stuck in Cambodia
About 3 years ago on our travels in Cambodia his passport got stolen. Since then we were trying to make enough money for him to go back to England. Unfortunately, it's not an easy thing to do when you are trapped in Cambodia.

Weird. While I was reading the CEONews post above, this song was playing.
"And she followed me when, finally, I sold my old guitar
And she tried to help me understand, I’d never be a star"

<crickets chirping>
Isn't it amazing how quiet the "you law-abiders are all losers, I've overstayed for years and no-one cares" crew are?

More like Simon overStays

I hate to be this guy, but I have to raise some questions...and this is just like any decent charity would do in determining who gets funded. And before any of you come after me, I've done many years of volunteer charity work in a hospital before, so I know how the vetting process for charity works.
So this kid claims he's trapped in Cambodia. Unless the U.K. has some strange draconian passport laws, there is a British embassy here and passport renewal service which I can't imagine is much different than the U.S. I've done it already (lost my passport, not stolen), and it took 3 weeks and $195 because I expedited it.
And then the claim to start getting a mysterious illness that no one can somehow diagnose, can't get up now because of said illness, yet no symptoms described except being tired and can't get up, no plea for a different doctor (western docs here are very good mind you) to help diagnose him, or to help him find out what's wrong so he can get treated, just a plea for money. Sorry but not buying the story.
Unless there are some actual statements, tests, etc. from the docs he's visited (which shouldn't be hard to get), I'm going to remain skeptical on this official story and advise others to do the same unless some better info comes forth, because all it looks like is a failed musician that thought his actions had no consequences, who now wants to go home on someone else's dime.
