The situation and the high cost of treatment led one of the girls to open a page to raise funds. "What I'm asking is that you help me lighten the financial burden of these extraordinary people," he said in his online application.

Following the solidarity call, the family received many messages of support in which she wished the child a speedy recovery. One of them, however, particularly struck and not because of his good wishes.

On the Facebook page, in support of Little Callie, they denounced the homophobic message of a woman who claimed to have been about to give a large sum of money, but who had changed notice seeing that the baby had two mothers.

"My prayers for Callie … I was going to donate $ 7,600 (350,000 pesos)), but I discovered that their mothers were bads. Sorry. Despite this, I will pray for her, but it is perhaps God's way of saying that she needs a mom and a dad, not two moms", The message read, signed under the name of Bren Marie.

In statements to NBC News, the mothers acknowledged that they were "surprised and disgusted" by the comment but chose not to respond. "We tried not to get angry but it was difficult," said Albree Shaffer, who criticized the woman who had written the comment instead of ignoring the page.

Despite the offensive message, the marriage says that the response of the population is "overwhelming" and that many have expressed their best wishes. To date, approximately $ 90,000 of the 100,000 marked on the target has been collected. The campaign, to date, has been in Gofundme for three months.
