A woman in our community has a history of lying to people to get money. Her stories conflict with each other so most people are onto her. However, prior to most people catching on, as most of us believed her, she had several fundraisers, claiming she had cancer. To some people, she then claimed to have a miracle healing. To others, she claimed to be on her death bed. She lost a lot of weight, but never her hair. The cancer she was claiming is rare. Only 78 people in the US have it.
She started going into the school and complaining about the sutures in her stomach opening and fluid leaking. She talked about how narrow her esophagus is and how it is hard to eat. She then got really super thin and said she had scar tissue in her stomach from her cancer surgery. she then explained, as if maybe someone found out where she was being treated and needed to cover in case that leaked out…."The reason I’m getting treatment on the bariatric floor is because the cancer specialists didn’t know how to deal with my scar tissue." She worked for the schools and, due to her history of lying, the principal told her she would need a pathology report. She refused stating it was none of her business to ask for something like that.
Is it possible that she raised over 30, 000 dollars from a poverty stricken community to have bariatric surgery? I should mention that she died a few days ago. Can you die from that? It may sound horrible of me because she died, but the people who donated their paychecks to her have since lost their homes. (We have the highest foreclosure rate in the county. Our town was hit hard by this economy). The church that donated 10, 000 dollars has since gone bankrupt. It angers me to think this was a scam.
oh and also, the reason her boss asked for the pathology report is because she said it was because she was holding a fundraiser through the school it was the policy. I’m not sure if thats a real policy but thats what she said.
