Refused to donate to a girl with cancer because she was a lesbian girl – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

A bad couple made a call in GoFundMe to pay for the treatments of his recently diagnosed little girl with cancer. However, the cases of those who discriminated against them because of their badual orientation are not lacking.

Tiffany and Albree Shaffer of Cincinnati received devastating news last year. That day, doctors diagnosed her 18-month-old daughter with neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that particularly affects young children.

A week after receiving the news, the doctors told them that they could not wait anymore. His daughter Callie had to start an 18-month chemotherapy treatment as soon as possible.

The costs of this treatment weighing directly on the family's economy, Tiffany's sister, Lorrie Teate, has therefore decided to raise funds via GoFundMe.

"You will need 18 months of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, in addition to a bone marrow transplant.. Maybe in the future another surgery will be needed to remove the tumor, "Teate writes on the page. All I ask you is that you help me ease the financial burden of these people. "

But, unfortunately, those who refused to help them did not fail because they went against their ideas. A woman identified as Bren Marie publicly expressed her rejection and also explained why.

"My prayers for Callie. I was going to donate 7,600 USD, but I discovered that I had two mothers. I decided to donate to another cause for this reason. I am sorry, I will still pray for her, but it is perhaps so that God draws your attention to tell them that she needs a mother and a father, and not two mothers. "

The screenshot of the previous message was shared by the mothers in their social networks. "We tried to ignore the anger, but it was difficult "Albree confessed. "I could not believe that she cared to tell us that directly, she could have just ignored the page and that's all."

While the comment reminded them that the more conservative version of conservatism still persisted, it also helped them to receive more donations from people who felt compelled to read Bren Marie's words.

"My wife and I are giving a little to eliminate the undelivered gift," Linda and Carol Davis-Wolther wrote on the GoFundMe page.

The fundraising page created on behalf of the Shaffers had raised close to $ 80,000 until Wednesday of last week.
