Over R600 000 Raised For German Crying Girl!

Over R600 000 Raised For German Crying Girl! The unidentified young girl made viral news after she was reduced to tears in a Euro 2020 match.

English football fans have raised R632 000 in efforts to show their support for the young German girl. She was left in tears after England lost 2-0 to Germany in their Euro 2020 last 16 match.

She experienced vile online abuse after her picture in tears went viral. Online abusers referenced Germany’s Nazi past as sweet revenge for her tears.

Welshman Joel Hughes decided that he wishes to open a GoFundMe campaign. He was aiming to raise R9 861 (500 pounds).

However, the response he has received has been overwhelming.

“I saw the tweet from Stan Collymore, I saw the vile unchecked abuse being directed at the images of the young girl.” Hughes told Sky News.  

“And I think it struck a chord, not just in terms of the vileness of the online abuse, but also the xenophobia, which taps into deeper issues of where Britain is now and how we are perceived on the world stage.

“I thought you know what, I want do try and do something here, however small it might be.”

“I thought we’d get a couple of hundred pounds. But if I’d got a couple of hundred quid the chances of me ever trying to get in touch with the family would have been negligible, so the scale has helped it.

“But there is a down side, because you do have a nagging in the back of your mind that the family just want you to shut up about it and stop showing the image.”

UEFA has strived to eradicate all forms of discrimination from football and indeed society at large. Over R600 000 Raised For German Crying Girl!
