This is extremely sad. I know theres been cases of parents or children fakin g a condition or diease. It reminds me of the case of Gypsy Rose and her mother telling people of gypsy's "conditions".
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading this my jaw immediately dropped. This absolutely blows my mind, this is so sad and unexceptionable. I don't know how she could have went on with her day knowing what she had done. There are so many patients that actually need money and can't get it. This also reminds me of a movie called "The act".
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous because it goes to show how people will go to extremes just for money and sympathy.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is ridiculous. It makes me sad knowing this is what our world has come to. Cancer is a sickness that is so severe, and faking it is insulting cancer patients. Now that this news is out, people are going to be extra cautious with their money, which is good, but what if there was a real post about a cancer patient needing money and everyone thinks it's a scam. Now that person is going to struggle through her treatments.
DeleteThis is something that should never happen, cancer can take lives and cause tragedies in people's lives. Faking cancer for money is on a whole new level of scamming people and is absurd.
ReplyDeleteThis is honestly sickening. The fact someone would use something so serious, and something that people actually go through for self centered gains is insane. There are things called jobs that help you earn money fairly, and honestly. I think it is important that the husband came out because the kind people that donated their hard earned money deserve it back.
