I have received help from the fund when things could not get much better.

All i can say to people who are thinking about donating is it made a massive change to my life.
Due to Covid etc we had no tourists over here.
life was very hard as with next to no income, i could hardly afford to eat.

Life was such a bore and i did think about ending it, but the fund paid for me to have an ifollow pass.
That ifollow pass saved my life.

I was so down and then i got given the money to purchase an ifollow pass, it gave me a reason to fight,
to see the games.

2 years on, i'm still a bit of a mess (but so much better than i was).
BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT THE FUND DONE FOR ME.

If you can give anything, i know other people like me will forever be in your debt.

You’re a star mate and great that you have been so strong with what you have had to go through (not just covid), let’s hope those tourists flock back soon for your business

Just donated - a great idea and cause. Might be worth promoting this during the xmas period when we're thinking about others less fortunate than ourselves...

Thanks, may well look to set next years fund up earlier as I am not sure when ST’s will go on sale and also allow longer for funds to be raised and more importantly, the nominations.

It's never too late.
Look above as to the change it made to my life.
Always someone in need (most of the time they say nothing).
People suffer in silence as embarrassed to say anything.
All i can say is if you are in a bad situation please let the fund know.
I have let everyone know my situation but it is in complete confidence
no one needs to know. I chose to share.
If you are in a bad way and the fund can help, it will and i promise, unless you put it out there no one will know, it's all done in private.

Thank you for those that have helped previously, in anticipation of ST sales starting soon, we are just about to launch this years fund raising and nomination campaign. This will allow us to make the most of any early bird prices available.

Clearly, it could be more important with families needing our help in these times and difficulties affording tickets especially so any donation you can make or suitable nominations will be really appreciated.

Just for awareness, in the first 5 years, we have raised over £38,750 to help out. Will create a new pinned group and nominations/donations link once finalised so lets make Year 6 a good one to help out some of our own and fellow city fans.

Thank you in anticipation of your support

Did anyone else hear the CWR Sound of the Sky Blues phone-in tonight ? Elderly disabled chap called in saying he was looking for a season ticket for himself and I think he said 3 grandkids for the last home games this season. He didn't have the money upfront to get them all as his money was short and the Club couldn't offer him terms. Instead they referred him to their loan company. Is this the sort of thing the ST fund would support ?

His name was Tony and using this link to get to the BBC webpage, his call starts at 18:36 of today's program.

I don't know this guy but hearing his plea on the radio reminded me about MMJ's great effort so thought I'd post.

Booooo !

Joking apart, Rob, I'm not him. I'd go but it's my mental health that prevents me, even from leaving the house. So I have to put up with CWR, Sky Sports and the jokers on here And I certainly couldn't cope with the stress of watching the lads play. Squeaky bum time may take on an alternate meaning

No need to qualify mate, didn't think for one minute you really were.

Most of the drivel I type is purely for entertainment purpose, but certainly not the first time and definitely won't be the last time that I've failed to connect. Guess I'm the Tyler Walker of joke to target ratio.

Also if there's anything we can do to help get you to a game that's different to financial based on mental health or whatever, then I'll happily help as would many others on here I'm sure. PM if you prefer not to post on here, but a shame to miss out.
