nobody can smell the bullshit here :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Her best friend told you to hold onto Tabitha's money, yet Tabitha's family is saying they never got any money, so it means they are completely unaware of this..

sounds like a lot of bs.. put it in a trust fund so she can access it?????? hahahahahaha just say you paid rent with it this month

I do not need to pay rent, this is not BS. I am going to talk to AJ about getting him the money when I get back to Canada, as I am out of town at the moment, and he is in the same city as me but I have emailed AJ about this situation.

think everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves

I hope she's doing better!

i guess here are the questions from your statement:

your deciding to hold onto money that was donated to somebody else - why wouldn't you just give it to the parents? and why cant you disclose why you need to hold money that doesnt belong to you?

you plan to put it into a trust fund to earn interest - its been 5 months and you apparently have not done this yet, if you were that concerned about interest, why wait so long to do it and how long do you expect to have the money in the fund so it earns interest.

its not like its going to be in a trust until she turns 18, why not give to the parents to decide how to best use it to help her?

give it to her parents or whoever is taking care of her? weird ...

someone else doesnt buy the BS.. it just doesnt add up.. if people donate money to me you better make sure i have it, and you are not holding it hostage because of my "best friend"

its been many many months

From what I can gather from Facebook posts and from what I've been told directly, I wouldn't be surprised that it hasn't been given to her yet and with good reason.

Not all parents properly take care of their children. I'm not saying that of her parents, I haven't even been following this story, just saying that the obvious answer of "give it to the parents" is not really all that obvious.

she must have care givers? unless she is recovered.

who cares, donated money is donated money.. if people donate money to me you better give it to me.. if i decide to blow it on hookers thats my prerogative

That idea would solve everything.

Ok, the money is in the trust fund......


NOW,
Where is the gift for the waitress?........

the money is in motion

There is no spoon.

i love that new phrase now.. money is in motion.lol its catchy

both parties have been connected

If someone gave money to my mum that was intended for me I would never see it. Can understand not passing it to the parents.

the money is safe, but there are some deficiencies

:1orglaugh

I like it best combined with a recent meme.

You done goofed, the money is in motion, and the consequences will never be the same.

I think that is the reason Taryn was holding on to it for now.

rent for a few hundred dollars? Come on, relax, She really means well here
This lady is gonna give the money to AJ for now

Care to elaborate via email? I still think of Tabitha almost daily. Really hope she is doing well and have heard no further updates as to her current condition.

Put it this way; she is better than you'd expect a person who landed on their head to be, but still not good compared to how she was.

She will never be that way again. I will be shocked/thrilled if she doesn't need care for the rest of her life.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh good one :)

That is truly unfortunate. :(

Though it was not as tragic as it could have been, I sure hope Tabby is able to lead a somewhat normal life after all of this. She is such a sweetheart. Hope to speak to you again one day Tabitha.

Damn, that's awful. Very sad to hear that.

I really hope that someone wouldnt steal money that was donated to this girl. It's really depressing to know there are people out there that would steal money like that.

I like to think I read people well, and from my times meeting Taryn and her husband I would say they are good, honest people.

My pure speculation here is indeed, the family can't be trusted with the money, thus why it hasn't been given to them.

I stand by my original advice. Never donate to 3rd parties. Obviously, there was no rush to provide a few hundred dollars support for anyone if it has been several months and a 3rd party is still holding onto it.

I have met Taryn and her husband a couple of times as well and i agree with you with both points

Thank you Tron and Varius, and Varius what you have said is correct and that is all I will say on the matter. I will not be replying again on this thread, if you want to ask me any questions about this at all, look in my signature and email me.

I think she was given a Visa gift card, not 100% but could have swore I read that somewhere in that long post.

I donated a little bit to Tabitha.
However, the donation time was many months ago.
She was not paid yet? That is strange.

I agree as well, I would be quite shocked to hear Taryn was scamming anything, especially a close friend ... I don't know the details and don't want to speculate but I'm sure if she is holding onto it it's what she believes is in Tabitha's best interests.

^ THIS.

We don't know eachother well enough to know what her relationship with her family is like, but if it's anything like mine I can totally understand.

For the record, if anything happens to me and I'm not of sound mind take up a collection and give it to charity. :2 cents:
