***For any newcomers***
I hope we get a wiki for Sarah soon. She came onto my/many others’ radar last year when she was crowdfunding for her kids school uniforms - she needed around 1k for school uniforms and travel passes for a brand new school. Only they didn’t end up going there and she had the money. Jack Monroe gave her like £78 or something.
it then came to members of the canal’s attention that Sarah would crowdfund very regularly, for things such as: prescriptions, laptops so she could home school, a flight for her son’s girlfriend who was being deported, a new cooker, a fence because hers blew down, birthday pressies for her twin sons, ad infinitum.
since learning of this tattle page, Sarah has deleted all her crowdfund pages. We’re not sure why she done this as they’re all totally genuine and she was entirely justified in all of those occasions.
she’s also had coffee/kofi things ongoing which have raised her thousands. At least one person donating to her grift is an ESA claimant.
Sarah is not without her problems. She broke her ankle causing her to have to LEARN HOW TO WALK AGAIN. She also had to, at this time, spend at least £700 of other people’s money on taxis.
In addition, she has menstrual periods which mean she’s often unable to cook and has to order takeaway food on the regular.
most recently there was an incident in Aldi where she held up the queue by transferring money to her bank account from another place. (We aren’t sure where as she said she only has one account.) this caused the checkout operator to be disgruntled; Sarah then apologised like any reasonable person would kicked off, for no good reason and filmed the altercation without adding any context. This video now has over 1m views on Twitter and Aldi have stood by their staff member and banned Sarah from the shop.
dodgy Depher has given money to her at least twice that we can see, meaning he isn’t great at due diligence. Sarah hoped The Aldi Incident would have been a nice little earner for her, but it took a wrong turn like Jack Monroe’s HH2, and brought the grift to a larger audience.
The result of this is Sarah is leaving Twitter, apart from when she’s not. She tweets and retweets herself around 200x per day. No, seriously, she does.
This whole thread has been a blast. It’s like thread 31 and it’s only the first one. Grab a cuppa and get settled in.
