All Is Not Lost
I have to go back on my assessment of society after all. Yes their are a lot of good people out there that donate money and other things in support of children in need.
I mentioned a family member that was going through such a crisis and that the light at the end of the tunnel looked a little brighter for them. Well guess what, the light went out!
The people that ran this campaign decided early in the game to keep the donations for themselves. It looks like the TV campaign, the publicity and all the trimmings was turned into a get rich quick scam. The parents of the child with the disability have not seen a cent, from the huge amount of donations. They have no idea how much money was donated, or where it is. The stress of dealing with a one year old child in such difficulty is enough by itself, but these people have chosen to add to the despair by creating a situation where thousands of dollars still have to be found for expensive medical equipment. Dollars that were already donated by honest people thinking they were solving the family's problem.
They say what goes around, comes around. In this case it can't come around soon enough. Nothing upsets me more than someone who would use a small child to play such a scam game. I hope all involved get what they deserve.
