Alfie’s ‘bogus funds’ blasted

ORDEAL: Tragic tot PALS of Alfie Evans’ family have rapped “fake” online fundraising pages set up in his name.

The tot’s official JustGiving page has received almost £140,000 of donations since it started.

But since the death of 23-month-old Alfie several other JustGiving and GoFundMe pages have emerged.

There are now at least 27 online sites claiming to raise cash for the family.

Only the official site and a JustGiving page set up by Louise Wallace have been approved by the family.

Family friend Kayleigh Macey Hughes posted on Facebook: “F***ing disgusting people making their own JustGiving pages using Alfie’s name.”

Another page, set up four days ago to raise £1,500 for funeral costs, has been made by a user called Help Alfie Evans.

But Louise Smith wrote: “Disgusting. Police should be involved.”

Alfie, of Bootle, Merseyside, was at the centre of a life-support battle between his parents, Tom Evans and Kate Jones, health officials and the justice system before he died on Saturday.
