212. The Hoax Was Not Justified

If this was in fact a hoax it was not justified. This family was not in a position in which they could not find a way to pay for the child's medical care. They could have gone to one of the fund my cause websites and done a video asking for help with their bills. I imagine they could have gotten a few thousand dollars. They could have also asked if someone knew a good plastic surgeon who would be willing to perform surgeries for free or at a reduced price. I imagine someone would have stepped up to either provide the free surgeries, pay for the surgeries, or hold a fundraiser to pay for the surgeries.

I think many people at this website and beyond can say they would not have done the same thing. Many people everyday choose not to conduct a hoax to get money for the things they need. These are not the only people who have ever found themselves in a situation were they needed something, but did not have the money to get what they needed. Many of those people decided to either go without what they needed, or to ask for help in getting what they needed.
