Recently, Ms. Qi, the owner of the nio.us, who is suffering from cancer, posted a post in the NIO app community for help to raise medical expenses. Up to now, more than 2,000 Weilai car owners have extended a helping hand. However, some car owners broke the news that Ms. Qi had a car and a house, believing that this was a story of "the disease is real, and the desperate is fake". In addition, Ms. Qi had applied for water drop chips, but was quickly removed from the shelves, and the owners also wanted to know the reasons for the removal.
On November 2, Ms. Qi replied to the concerns of car owners, confirming that she had a WEILAI ES8 under her name, a 49-square-meter loft located in Jiading, Shanghai, and a set of Suzhou real estate that was frozen in a lawsuit; as an invited guest, she often participated in Weilai community activities and did not spend much; the water drop was removed because it had been raised on the Weilai platform; and the trust matching donation has not yet been officially applied.
In an interview with Red Star Capital Bureau, Waterdrop Chip said that the reason for terminating the fundraising project was to understand that the patient's family economic conditions could support follow-up treatment, and hoped that patients could fully save themselves and then seek help from the society through the fundraising platform. Mr. Liu, director of NIO User Trust, said that no formal application for matching donations has been received at present.
Some people in the social philanthropy community told Red Star Capital Bureau that individuals' information for help to solve their own or family difficulties is not a charitable fundraiser. There is no threshold for individuals to seek help, and more attention should be paid to the authenticity and integrity of information disclosure, and to ensure the donor's right to know. Of course, if you deliberately conceal your economic situation, or deceive or induce donations by fabricating facts and exaggerating your illness, you are suspected of fraudulent donations.
Car owners with cancer ask their riders for help
NIO User Trust can match donations 1:1
According to ms. Qi's post in the NIO app community, she is 44 years old, became acquainted with NIO in 2018, is often active in the NIO community, and is a 2019, 2020 and 2021 car owner volunteer. In February 2020, she was diagnosed with breast cancer bone metastasis, requiring nearly 30,000 yuan of targeted drugs per month, and the treatment almost cost the family savings. After recovering from her illness, she actively participated in the car club of Weilai's line.
In October 2021, the cancer metastasized to the liver, which was not included in her critical illness insurance. At present, she has sent the child to her ex-husband in Singapore, who will take care of the education and care.

At the end of October, Ms. Qi raised donations from riders in the WEILAI APP community, starting from 100 yuan. So far, more than 2,000 riders have reached out to help. According to the calculation of 100 yuan donated by each rider, she raised at least more than 200,000 yuan from the Weilai community.
It is worth mentioning that Ms. Qi said that one of the reasons for choosing to raise donations in the NIO community is the matching donation policy of the NIO User Trust.
On April 30 this year, the WEILAI User Trust Council issued the "Passing on Community Warmth and Helping Common Growth" publicity, mentioning in the car owner care section: If the OWNER and his spouse and immediate family members encounter unexpected difficulties, after the WEI friends or the community find and initiate the donation, the trust will make a 1:1 matching donation according to the amount donated by everyone, with a maximum of 500,000 yuan / pen. The amount of matching donations is subject to the actual donations of NIO users and car friends in the community, and donations raised by users on other platforms outside the community will not be matched. The trial period is from May 1 to December 31, 2021.
It is conservatively estimated that according to the amount of funds raised of 200,000 yuan, Ms. Qi can also obtain a matching donation of 200,000 yuan through the WEILAI User Trust, and a total of 400,000 yuan will be donated from the WEILAI platform.
At present, Ms. Qi has closed the donation channel. She said that the next step of treatment and cost will be announced on the Weilai app. If there is surplus money after rehabilitation, it will be used for community assistance and public welfare;
It was exposed that there were cars and houses, and it was taken off the shelves by water droplets
The parties responded one by one
However, soon some car owners broke the news that Ms. Qi had a car and a house, daily tourism, red wine parties, and golf clubs, believing that this was a story of "the disease is real, and the desperate is fake". Some car owners questioned whether the purpose of Ms. Qi's fundraising was to see a doctor, or whether she did not want to reduce her quality of life because of illness, hoping that she would disclose her real financial situation. In addition, Ms. Qi had applied for water drop chips, but was quickly removed from the shelves, and the owners also wanted to know the reasons for the removal.
On November 2, Ms. Qi replied to the concerns of car owners one by one. For a car and a house, Ms. Qi said that she confirmed that she had a Weilai es8 under her name, but she wanted to hold it temporarily due to the need to see a doctor; she also had a set of 49 square meters loft located in Jiading, Shanghai, which was commercial and residential in nature, and it was not easy to sell it at present; in addition, she also had a set of properties located in Suzhou, because she did not have the qualification to buy a house, the government froze this house can not be bought and sold, and is fighting with the developer.
On the issue of participating in the event, she said that most of the community activities she had participated in before were as participating organizers, and were invited guests, and did not cost much. For the trust matching donation, Ms. Qi said that because the car friend fundraising has just ended, there is no formal process of applying for matching donations.
Mr. Liu, director of NIO User Trust, said that he has been following up on Ms. Qi's condition and treatment progress. The fundraising ended on October 31, and no formal application for matching donation has been received, but it has recently communicated with Ms. Qi's relatives and friends and initiated an application. Upon receipt of the application, the Board will review it. If the final application is approved, the matching donation will be earmarked and reimbursed through the medical expense settlement document (part other than medical insurance and insurance).
Ms. Qi also launched a fundraising campaign through the Waterdrop Fundraising Platform, but it was quickly terminated by the platform. In this regard, she explained that the reason why Waterdrop was removed was because it had already raised donations on the Weilai platform. "Applying for Waterdrop Chip is for me to prove that my situation can withstand the audit and evaluation of a third-party platform."
However, The water drop chip told the Red Star Capital Bureau, "We understand that the patient's family economic conditions can support follow-up treatment, and we hope that the patient can fully save himself and then seek help from the society through the fundraising platform, so the fundraising project was terminated under the premise of full communication with the patient and obtaining the patient's consent." ”
If you have a car and a house, can you raise money for treatment?
Experts: There is no threshold for individual help, and donations are purely voluntary
If you have a car and a house, can you still raise donations? Similar fundraising incidents have sparked widespread controversy in recent years.
In April 2019, Wu Hechen, a cross-talk actor of Deyun Society, suddenly fell ill, and his family launched a million crowdfunding through water drop fundraising. However, his family has two apartments and a car in Beijing. Waterdrop Chip said at the time that the audit information could not initiate fundraising at all without defining whether there was a car or a house, but the premise was to submit the corresponding certification materials in accordance with the provisions of the platform. The platform is not qualified to review the promoter's car property and real estate, and can only require the promoter to publicly explain his family's economic situation and make a public announcement.
In August this year, a burned family in Shunde, Guangdong Province, raised 4 million yuan through an online public welfare platform, and was later exposed to have a car, a house and an industry.
By what standard can someone initiate a request for help? If you have a car and a house, can you raise money for treatment?
Wang Zhenyao, dean of the China Philanthropy Research Institute at Beijing Normal University, once said that "even the richest people have a temporary emergency." He pointed out that the public generally has a particularly miserable and helpless imagination of recipients, but many social problems are now "transforming from poverty to poverty". In particular, in the short term, a lot of money is needed to treat diseases, and even if you have a car and a house, you may not be able to get it out. He called on the public to change their mindset and be more tolerant and understanding.
Some people in the social philanthropy community told Red Star Capital Bureau that this reflects the ethical issues behind individuals' requests for help.
The Charity Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the release of help-seeking information by individuals to solve their own or family difficulties is not a charitable fundraiser, and the authenticity is the responsibility of the individual, which does not fall within the scope of the Charity Law adjustment. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has also issued norms, emphasizing that online recourse is not charitable fundraising.
Therefore, in the circle of friends, online community to publish help information, donation is only a personal gift. At present, most of the projects on the online fundraising platform are individual rescue.
The above-mentioned person pointed out that poverty is relative. Middle-income people initiate personal help, that is, they hope not to fall to the point of exhaustion, and they should not demand that they must sell their cars and houses and be forced to the end of the road to ask for help. "Individuals ask for help essentially through the social path of acquaintances, and donations are purely voluntary."
"There is no threshold for individuals to seek help, and what should be paid more attention to is the authenticity and completeness of information disclosure, and the right to know of donors is guaranteed." Of course, if you deliberately conceal your economic situation, or deceive or induce donations by fabricating facts and exaggerating your illness, you are suspected of fraudulent donations. ”
