Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 This is definitely legitimate. This group, which I think Dr Wakefield is involved with is helping out this family b/c the family doesn't have the money themselves & I can assume legal costs are astronomical. It's good to be cynical, but this is not a scam as far as I know. You raise a good question as to how much of the money donated will go to this family. If anyone knows, please fill the rest of us in. I had tried to set up a bank acct for them myself but it couldn't be done (sorry, can't remember exactly what the bank rep told me.) What is happening to this family can happen to any of us & could have consequences around the country & anyone can report what we're doing to help our kids as abuse. What's happening in AZ is real. I don't know why it's set up in CA Marie On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 2:47 PM, jennifer_bardwell < jennifer_bardwell@...> wrote: > Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I'd like a few more details before I even > consider donating to this cause.
