A couple deny embezzling fundraiser donations after being accused of taking £138,000
intended to support a dying boy, Nathaniel Nabena.

The charges follow allegations concerning the management of an online charitable
appeal set up to help the child during his severe illness. The pair entered formal
denials against the accusations that they misappropriated the significant sum.

## Couple Deny Embezzling Fundraiser Cash in Court

According to prosecutors, the defendants served as administrators of a GoFundMe 
campaign established on behalf of Nathaniel Nabena. Rather than ensuring the charitable
contributions went entirely toward the intended care and support of the young patient,
the couple allegedly diverted £138,000 of the donated funds for unauthorized use.

During legal proceedings, both individuals firmly rejected the allegations of financial
wrongdoing. By entering not-guilty pleas, the pair denied that they acted dishonestly
while overseeing the public appeal.

## Administration of the GoFundMe Appeal

The online crowdfunding effort was originally organized to collect public donations
for Nathaniel Nabena as he battled a critical health condition. The fundraiser drew
contributions from donors who believed their financial gifts would directly aid 
the boy’s medical journey and overall care.

The prosecution’s case centers on the defendants’ stewardship of the crowdfunding
page. Authorities allege the couple abused their positions as account administrators
to siphon off the substantial sum from the campaign balance.

## Next Steps in the Case

With formal denials recorded, the matter will proceed through the judicial system
to determine whether the administrators unlawfully embezzled the charitable proceeds.

The court will review evidence regarding how the £138,000 was handled and whether
the accused breached their legal responsibilities to the campaign and its donors.
