Utterly shocked

A great lady who runs a charity website sent us an urgent email today. I couldn't believe what I read. I won't name the organization as this is a public blog. Someone took the bio and photo of one of the featured sick children of the month and made a fake website to get people to donate money in this sick eight yr old's name. They said they are up to to $19,000 or so! This little boy won't see any of the money at all. The webmistress with the real site has contacted the place that is accepting payments to tell them it's not a legit operation. I've been dealing with this site since August, 1998 and I don't believe anything like this has happened before. Too bad when you are trying to do good for people someone comes along and jeopardizes a great thing. Please, if you see any websites asking for money, do a search, especially if sick kids are involved.
