Question

Write a a honest and and don’t appreciate the following. You areEe assuming and judgmental and to be honest we have fulfilled our two events in which we were grateful successful. I don’t condone you assumptions and you done even know the facts. Its a shame tha you would thinks that mother and I would ever stoop that low to ask help. I think you should not assume that we didn’t do anything. Our heart is for our community and elders in which we have did. Another thing you DID NOT KNOW. My mother added $1500 of her funds to these events so we could have just worked with that be instead we grew with a better extended event. So please next time, when you begin to judge, learne the facts first. And I’m sorry that you and. Amy weren’t helping towards these events. My mother chose another route with caterer and that is what we did.

The GoFundMe and charity planning situations really bothered me. When things were discussed and me and sunny were asked to help or support, but nothing ever came from it and when we followed up another scenario was made that also resulted in nothing happening, it made me feel uneasy and question what was really going on and it comes across as theft and that I cannot condone.I don't want to associate with people who think it is ok to lie and ask for funds for breast cancer awareness and to then not fulfill their part. I understand things are tight for you guys but that doesn't make stealing over 1000 dollars ok. That was a big turning point for me.



Dora let me cut to the chase ones I really don’t appreciate you assuming that mother and I asking to for go fund me for breast cancer and helping the homeless events when we have successfully completed those tasks.

Answer 1

Dora —

I need to be honest: I don’t appreciate your assumptions or the judgment behind them. You assumed my mother and I asked for a GoFundMe for breast cancer awareness and for the homeless events in a way that implies we didn’t follow through. That is simply untrue.

To be clear:
- We successfully completed both events. We put time, effort, and resources into them and were grateful for how they turned out.
- My mother personally contributed $1,500 from her own funds to support these events. Rather than work solely with that amount, we expanded the event and made it better for the community and our elders.
- My mother chose a different caterer, which is why you and Amy were not involved in that part. I’m sorry you and Amy weren’t able to help, but that was a decision made by my mother.

The GoFundMe and charity planning situation bothered me deeply. When Sunny and I were asked to help or support, nothing materialized. Every time we followed up, another scenario unfolded and still nothing happened. That pattern made me uneasy and led me to question what was really going on. Frankly, it came across as misappropriation of funds, and I cannot condone that. Taking or using over $1,000 in a way that isn’t accounted for was a major turning point for me.

I don’t want to be associated with people who think it’s acceptable to lie about funds or to ask for money for a cause and then not fulfill their part. If there are concerns about how money was handled, I expect transparency—an accounting or receipts—or the return of funds, and a straightforward explanation.

Please next time, before you judge or make accusations, learn the facts and come talk to us directly. If you want to resolve this, I’m willing to discuss it, but I need honesty and accountability.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
