When a Zimbabwean woman Esther Mhuri decided to share her desperate plea for help due to breast cancer , little did she know that her plea will fall into wrong hands and hearts.
So far three Go fund me pages opened for her cause have been established .Esther confirmed to sisi Vee that she is not aware of any of them and does not even know the people who opened them.
Sisi Vee has so far established with the help of other Zimbabweans that the UK Go fund me page was opened by Patience Murapata who use Patience Tich on fb .
Patience has not yet responded to a message written to her by sisi Vee seeking clarification.
However a well wisher has contacted sisi Vee with a whole lot of lies that Patience is saying to Zimbabweans, some of who don’t know how Go fund me works .
Talking to sisi Vee today the well wisher said Patience is to now going to give Esther us1900 which according to Patience’s conversion is £1900.The Go fund Me page raised £3926 which is approximately us$4774 before she just closed it after sisi Vee intervened suspecting donor funds abuse.

[11/03 12:52 pm] Bbb8: Sis Vee now mari yekuGoFund from Patie yakunzi its only 1900 pounds imwe yacho 2k pounds hanzi yaiverengerwa pama offline contributions from Ecocash
[11/03 12:54 pm] Bbb8: Hanzi GoFund inotiiyo yes we are helping you kuti uwane help but tiratidzewo kuti ukutsvaga help somewhere else, saka hanzi ndipo paakanyora kuti offline contributions asvika pa3,9 aitoverengera 2k from Zim? Saka GoFund inoba marizve, kudya chemupfupi nekureba,
[11/03 1:06 pm] Sisi Vee: It’s lies sisi.Go fund me stands on it’s own and has nothing to do with Ecocash.When someone opens a Go Fund me account it links to the ‘opener’ ‘s bank account and all the donations go to the ‘Western’ bank account attached to the person who opened .So as we speak the money is most likely going into Patience ‘s UK bank account.Go fund me just deducts only a small percentage from the monied raised so anonyepera those who dont know how Go Fund me works.
[11/03 1:09 pm] Bbb8: Well that’s what she’s been telling people that that amount was GoFund+Ecocash=3900pounds and also she mentioned that the exchange rate will be 1;1 as in 1usd=1pound
[11/03 1:09 pm] Bbb8: She said that she has been doing this GoFund for a long time, she has done it for so many people
[11/03 1:09 pm] Bbb8: Ishiri ine muririro wayo
[11/03 1:12 pm] Sisi Vee: Imbavha .I will sort her out .Meanwhile her name is no longer showing on on the go fund me page .Before it was showing .Check the image
[11/03 1:13 pm] Bbb8: She has turned it off
[11/03 1:13 pm] Bbb8: Closed the account
[11/03 1:14 pm] Bbb8: iye ari kuti she;s just gonna give her 1,9kpounds/usd
[11/03 1:14 pm] Bbb8: cz ari kuti 1:1
[11/03 1:19 pm] Sisi Vee: Ok good if she has closed. Ok thank you so much for the very helpful update.She can steal but will make sure her name is so dirty such that she will never steal again.Will also check with UK police to see if they can intervene etc .It’s not 1:1 .She doesnt have to do any conversion.All she has to do is withdraw the pounds to the cause deposited by Go fund me people after their decuction and western union the pounds to Esther.Western union will tell her how many US Esther will receive.

[11/03 1:21 pm] Sisi Vee: Her Go fund me page has raised £3921 which is about us 4774 or so
[11/03 1:29 pm] Bbb8: Yes, but ndiyo yaaari kuti it’s ecocash and gofund
[11/03 1:52 pm] Sisi Vee: Ari kunyepa.Go fund me shows it’s own balance and the money goes directly to the bank account attached In her case it is a UK bank account where the money was deposited by Go fund.Go fund is like paypal .You create an account link it to your bank account and they process your transactions on your behave for a reasonable fee.So Patience registered an account on Go fund me.After being asked by Go fund me system to put bank details for the cause she put a UK bank account to link with the cause thats why donated money is showing pounds too.So whoever donates through Go fund me , Go fund people deduct a small fee and forwards the rest to the bank account as registered on the account. Ecocash goes to mobile phone number of ecocash account holders.
[11/03 1:52 pm] Bbb8: True
[11/03 1:52 pm] Bbb8: Ma taura shuwa ipapo
[11/03 1:52 pm] Bbb8: If it came from ecocash why iri kushower ma pounds
[11/03 1:53 pm] Bbb8: It makes sense
[11/03 1:53 pm] Bbb8: Iyo yakaiswa ari my usd
[11/03 1:54 pm] Sisi Vee: Yes .Itsotsi .She has ignored my message to whatsapp me.If you know anyone who is in touch with her can you please ask them kuti Patience andibate.I am not leaving any stone unturned .It looks like shes at Coventry university too .If she is I will be contacting the university too.
Meanwhile some Zimbabweans who sent money to Patience’s Go Fund me page have started demanding refunds.This is despite that eversince 2006 sisi Vee has been warning and naming and shaming such scammers like Patience but some people still donate through their so called Go fund me pages.
“Well , despite that Patience said she will give Esther us1900 after she steals the balance which I think she has already stolen…..below she was talking of a totally different decision.” Said sisi Vee.
“Esther doesnt have to prove anything to Patience for the Go Fund Me funds to be released from Patience’s bank account.All Patience needs to do is send the Go Fund proceeds to Esther..as simple as that .She opened the fund me page to fund Esther’s cause and not to fund proof.Ipa Esther mari yake yese Patience .” Added sisi Vee
Here are more lies that Patience is saying to some other people.Go Fund Me releases the money to the bank account on page which I’m sure is Patience’s UK bank account in this case.
By Patience ” Hi ladies i know everyone has heard a lot about me and this GoFundMe campaign. To clear matter Esther knew from the start as i contacted her with my intentions. She agreed and she actually sent me her DOB that I had gotten wrong and I corrected on the narrative. I’m dumbfounded that she is not being honest with people about me. But nevertheless I speak for myself. At the moment the money ain’t gonna be released. Esther must prove her situation by providing her medical proof from the hospital. Once I asked her about this she’s not co-operating anymore. As for your ladies who donated into the fundraiser especially, by Monday if Esther continue to not comply with the requests from GFM all donations will be refunded to their respective donors. For people who don’t know how GFM works it’s not a matter of getting money and receive it in your bank account. GoFundMe will do the payout to the beneficiary. Also the total amount shown includes an offline payment that Esther already has. That explains the difference. If anyone sees this message ask Esther to cooperate by providing the proof and the funds will be released. Otherwise they are holding the funds as you all know Esther and I are complete strangers but it doesn’t mean she ain’t in touch with me. Why she’s doing this I don’t understand.”
