Although it's a very sad story, I'm confused

    Of course not. I just disagree with the whole idea, but such is my opinion.

    You could have a totally out of the blue event that could be natural causes that would be the same result. In which case nobody would start asking for monetary help. The point LD is making is when does it become reasonable to ask people for money. There is currently debate similar to this regarding the way charities raise money.

    That's true but then in all fairness not everyone emigrates to Cyprus either. I can see both sides. One side is that it is a one off event and people struggle to save money, the other is that when you CHOOSE to move abroad you KNOW that you may need to rush home at some point. In my opinion that is the big difference, we aren't talking about an average family struggling forncash, we are talking about someone who chose to move abroad and should have known the risks involved and planned accordingly. A lot of people can't afford cars but you wouldnt move to a remote cottage and then complain you had no way of getting out and about.

    Agree completely.

    Fair play to those that are giving money, but I'd rather it be a case of them doing it because they want to, not as a result of the family asking for it.

    because some people don't like young kids travelling on their own? and they have to exist when they get here?
    having worked in financial services in the past, I learned never to underestimate how skint some people can be, (deliberate or otherwise)

    If the lady hadn't died in a house fire but say she died at a later date through natural causes would the public still cough up with the money. There are thousands of people who have relatives living abroad, that don't make it home if their parents die. The fact is we don't always save up for a rainy day.
