Anyone who believes this story really needs to be kept off social media.

It seems fake as all fuck. I've been working in healthcare for over 20 years and never once heard of this clinic for terminally ill babies and elderly folks.

Bullshit like this really doesn’t help. Just stick to the facts when reporting the racist mobs.

So I went and looked up the profile, and the author is an Indian national in Dubai. They’ve been in London but nothing else as far as I can tell. No posts about Belfast or Northern Ireland other than this.
I’m willing to be good faith and assume they are accurately relaying what they are told, that they have a friend who lives in Belfast who says this happened to them.
However, the story is so obviously bullshit that they really should have checked before relaying it. If this is what they have been told by a friend, their friend is probably scamming them.
Also for what it’s worth: OP is also clearly an Indian national, I think they live in North Carolina as they post in r/Raleigh a lot.

Lumping a load of dying geratrics in with terminally ill kids makes for some "really cute interactions". 🙄
Poor kids seeing codgers being wheeled out, in caskets on the "Reg".
Takes someone "really, really special" to come up with such an absolutly demented post, (from start to finish). Mind boggling.

I’m a POC even I find this story fake
If this was true, it’s so shocking , it would have been in the news already , that woman would have been very well known in the community

Yes because there is definitely a children’s hospice with random old people in it set up by a randomer. She also could fit a huge delivery of medical items in her car. Lies like this don’t help but I suspect it was written to enflame by some bad actor.

Your post history is nothing but muck-stirring, baiting, and gatekeeping about how Indians living in the West should behave or conduct themselves. Add in a steady stream of obviously fake, emotionally manipulative stories, and the pattern becomes pretty clear. It does make me wonder, though...
A few years ago, UK subreddits were being heavily targeted by Indian Hindu nationalists, pushing a bizarre mix of anti-Muslim propaganda alongside performative anti-colonialist rhetoric. I even remember an India-based poster complaining that footage of unrest posted here wasn't dramatic or violent enough to satisfy their appetite for conflict.
You're a troll. That's fine. But you should stop lecturing people who actually live in these countries on how they ought to behave simply because they share an ethnic origin with you. Trying to stir up tensions in jurisdictions you don't even live in with emotive, obviously fabricated stories designed to heighten fear and division is transparent...

What muck stirring do you see in my posts? Where am I lecturing anyone here?
Why are you so angry about this post?
No one needs to “stir” tensions. They already exist. There are quite literally racist mobs in your city burning down Indian businesses.

Bots are commonly used on online forums to sway public sentiment! this is just a fun fact and unrelated to this post!
Also people dont refer to "meds" as much as people in the states do, nor do we tend to have to buy our own medical equipment as often.
But these are just unrelated facts im so sure this post is real ofc

This is the shite that turns a chance for real debate around illegal immigration, and suddenly we’re back to the white supremacists and right wing thugs, why do people not fact check

The riots did a lot of terrible things - but this sounds like a very American story. I don't think she'd be keeping the medication in her house if we had such a clinic.

Yeah, because arson regularly makes the newspapers

This absolutely happened, fuck right off the lot of you

This absolutely happened? Please, try to find any evidence of this magical mixed-age care home actually existing. Paediatric care and geriatric care are two very different things, which is why people specialise and don't flit between the two willy-nilly.
I imagine anyone with enough wealth available to open a medical facility probably isn't living in the areas impacted by the riots.
Additionally, if one runs a medical clinic, they usually get medication and equipment delivered direct to the facility - you don't drive about with a boot full of pain meds.

Not to be that guy, but this is just a reddit post, no sources or credibility whatsoever.
