What would you do £1200 charity scam.
Discussion
Briefly: Wife ran a charity event for a local woman. Lots of businesses donated stuff, bands turned up etc.
Aim was to give 50% to a charity, and 50% to the woman to buy a headstone for her dead child buried in a local graveyard.
£1200 was given to the charity, and £1200 to the woman.
2 years later the woman has not used this money to buy the headstone. She has been contacted by my wife many times and has constantly given b
ks excuses. A few of the businesses have asked my wife what happened with it. Woman has moved away from the area now.
What would you do(if anything)?

Lots of questions, so will elaborate.
this event was held over a year on from the child's death.
The mother split with the father of this child shortly after her death. They have another child together.
The father really wants the headstone to be put up, but is scared to chase the mother further for this money/headstone as she is a little nuts and will likely cease contact between him and his daughter.
This is obviously not our issue, though pissed off as hell with her.
Our issue is that the businesses that donated gifts/vouchers/free events etc. to be given away at the charity event are asking what has happened with this. Because my wife organised the event, they are asking her. The worry from my wife, who has he own small business, is that she will be held complicit in this.

The woman was the person who asked for help setting up this event to raise money for the headstone. She sucked at organising, so my wife agreed to organise/run it for her. It was my wife's suggestion that any money raised over the cost of a headstone was given to a related charity (Sands)
have told the wife just to leave it, and the advise for responding to enquiries on this.
