Over £600,000 raised for Samaritans following the death Claire Squires

First heard about this the other day and the figure was £300,000.

People power is pretty amazing. An awful tragedy for Claire's family obviously.

Such a tragedy.  But what a tribute to her. 

The fund is at over £700,000.00 plus £157,000.00 Gift Aid.   The Samaritans will use the money well in her memory.

It's very sad to read her page and her message knowing that a) it was only a few days ago she put out an appeal and b) that she'll never log on there again.

It really shows how powerful the internet can be, particularly now when so many people dismiss it and want to control it.
