Good to see you're hanging in there - with a sense of humor, no less!
I’d toss a few $ in, and I’ve never donated to a Gofundme.

You and I have been both allies and opponents in multiple different debates here, and your responses to many topics have been thought provoking. You have my best wishes. Here’s to many more debates.

Lol just look at her and look at the scam. Fewer things are this blatantly obvious.

I didn’t know that.

We might disagree and go back and forth on here, but I do hope the best for you and that your treatment is successful. Sending positive thoughts your way this evening.

Every gullible person that donated to this lady, needs to take a reality check and cash it!

Often said, the devil was in the details.

Dern tootin shame that some family's are genuinely struggling. And there sits Miss 'Dealing" out the BS to garner funds. I'd sue her for false statements /scamming.

I don't agree with ANYTHING you EVER say but I am sorry about your cancer. (I am a BC survivor).

When the initial story started with her being glad it was CNN at her door because she was thinking they were the landlord coming to evict her, something didn't sound right. But I doubt anyone took the "These ain't my kids" in the office pool as to what was the fraud.

It appears that the funds are currently on hold, and people are allowed to rescind their donations. Her donations are now down to about 189K. But in looking at the comments on the GoFundMe page there are still people donating knowing that she lied.

In normal circumstances, this person would be arrested for fraud. And the media outlet wouldn't be trying to update and justify the fraud by saying "Well she is like their mother". So I wonder if anything will ever come of this?
