I hope she goes to jail and doesn’t get out
How can she deceive people like that
( WHY DID’JU DO THIS TO ME ) Because that woman should’ve be ashamed of herself for what she’d done to those people just to make some quick money in order to survive in this world .
My friend died of cancer. Makes me very angry.
SMH 😒
EVIL
She was an ass soul
F ing narcissist is disgusting 🤢
Gotta love how Brandon sold those shirts all over Kraft 🙄 he knew what was going on!
“How could you do this to your children?”
“And your kids!”
😂😂😂😂
That's just sick
Yet there’s people actually struggling every day with cancer. Many of them don’t have support like this- it’s disgusting.
13 years I did think I had breast cancer. My doctor ran tests and done surgery nothing. This story really makes me mad.
She is disgusting.. sorry for everyone who was affected. That money could have gone on someone who really needed it.. not its going to be hard for them to trust😢
This heifer better pray that God doesn't have a sense of humor.
Are PEOPLE REALLY THAT STUPID????? ASK FOR DR TEST 1st. VS. OHHHH POOR THING FREE EVERYTING…
A fake, a liar, AND a swirler! The worst of the worst!
You gotta be a sick individual to fake having cancer.
Fake news white people don't lie! They are victims of the liberal US!!!
This chick is rancid.
This is a disgusting human being i lost my brother to cancer last year prostrate my sister-in-law fought 3 cancers
My beautiful 28 year old daughter kylie mother to 2 passed age 28 breast cancer 2007 with Jesus
How can someone fake cancer when there are so many lives fighting cancer poor innocent children sickens me these ppl should be put in prison 😔
Why is it white women who do that?
ONLY 3 YEARS IN PRISON! Should be a life sentence.
i have lost two sisters through cancer i myself had stage 3 cancer for people to fraud people is just sick and discus sting i just advice if anybody has any doubts about somebody conning them that they should go with them to the hospital if the refuse to let you go to the hospital something isn't right to make out you have cancer when you don't i don't have any more words and also if some people have cancer they lose weight also when i had cancer the radiotherapy people mark your body with a blue spot so as the radiation can go there and that mark is there like a tattoo it doesn't go away
Lol she's sickening no? Just 3 years, she'll do it again.
@6:43 the "WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!?!?"
Wow way to make it all about you ya pasty narcissist!
Scammers like this make it hard for actual people suffering, sick, and in REAL need to get help! This makes generous people hesitant in the future to step in and help. She is sick, just not with cancer.
Another junkie/pill popper with Münchausen syndrome. I’m one of 5 kids as well & I’d never forgive my mom if she did something like this. My best friend’s mom & my aunt died of breast cancer when I was younger & it’s absolutely terrifying to see a loved one (or any human for that matter) suffer & try to battle cancer. I’d really love to know more about the dad’s situation & how old her children are
She's sick alright… sick in the head!
The Addiction Had nothing to do with her scam or her faking an illness at all let alone cancer.
She was a narsacistic nutcase and even if she was not an addict would have done the same thing.
(why do these shows always have to push their Anti-Drug / War on drugs agenda down people throats.)
Opiate addiction does NOT make people into criminals, that is pure American Propaganda that has spread worse than Covid.
Its just some people who are criminals or would be criminals Start using drugs and become addicts, They then give into their withdrawals as they have a way by using crime to get more.
While Normal People who get addicted , but would not be criminals even if it meant pure hell of withdrawals laying in agony will just ride out the withdrawals until they get more money legally normally be it from work, a loan from someone or from welfare.
My mom died from Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer that had spread to her liver. This 🐂💩 pisses me off to no end! I'm glad she got jail time and I hope she has to pay back those people she scammed!
I don't understand these people. You WILL get caught out eventually.
I remember my grandad before he passed away at 84 years old. He was always like that he would talk to the neighbours and if they were kind of upset about some thing he would talk to them about why they were so upset and then when they would say why they were upset. Then he will start talking about the hockey game things like that things that they both loved to watch on TV and that would really cheered the person up and that because he talked about things that they enjoy watching and or doing
Turning a sad, subject around and talking about a happy subject, you know and it’s not only that it’s a point that you’re talking to them and trying to cheer them up and they love that people love that specially when they’re at the lowest point in their life, you know. Hopefully by doing that that will stop people from doing what Melissa, did you know
Some people do go to extreme measures to have friends and get people to feel bad for them so they would be their friend. Because no doubt in my mind, and I will admit nobody deserves to feel lonely. Nobody deserves to not have any friends and beyond wanted in society. Everybody deserves to have friendship with people. Everybody deserves to be wanted and excepted by people around them. It’s just sometimes people go about it the wrong way, and they hurt other people in the process you know
Instead of just being honest and saying “yeah I need to tell you something personal I don’t have cancer. I really don’t have cancer and I really don’t want your money. I just really want friends. I really am craving that friendship that’s all “
If anybody would’ve said that to me. I probably would still be mad at them. I probably wouldn’t talk to them for a while, but I will give them credit for at least coming out and being honest with me and everybody else because it takes a really big person to say something like that specially, after people have sent you Stuff through Amazon thinking that you have cancer, you know
I mean, if that were me, I would be worried about the backlash I would receive. But if you are a strong person enough to come out and say that you didn’t have cancer, you just wanted that friendship. Yes, I probably would still be mad but it was I wouldn’t be as mad as I would be if somebody that I was friends with still kept on saying they had cancer do you know and getting money from people
I honestly love to think that Melissa didn’t want to hurt anybody. Because I’ve heard of people that are sexually abused. I have seen it on YouTube and I also have a friend who says that she has been physically abused and that.
So she was kind of like an outcast. You know she everybody made fun of her in school, and everybody was kind of mean to her because she never really knew how to make friends and when you don’t fit in with people that well in school and even out in the public, you really start to crave that companionship and friendship and sometimes the only way that they can get friends is to come up with the Saba story that can really touch people you know and get them to interact with you and care for you
Because I have no doubt that lotta people do try everything to fit in with other people, but they just don’t know how to interact very well they don’t know how to start a normal friendship very good for whatever reason and sometimes things like that happen where they just are extremely sad and lonely, and They really do you feel like they need friendship
And I honestly feel sad for them people. That’s why when you see somebody on the side of the road and they’re crying or somebody outside the store and they’re crying and they just feel like alone. Go up and have a conversation with them just ask them. How are they doing and it’s a nice day outside no just go up and start talking about things that make them happy.
Ask them what do you like to do in their free time. And then tell them what you would like to do in their free time and then you’ll start to cheer them up you know because you’re talking about hobbies and what you both like to do you know and then you’ll see they will come around and they will cheer up you know
It’s not like some people that are just greedy and really want to intentionally hurt people like that 19-year-old lady that set up a go fund me to fake cancer and scam people. I don’t think that she was on drugs or she was trying to escape anything I don’t think she’s really trying to skip sadness or embarrassment you know there’s some people out there that are really proud to take a vantage of people. That’s just the way that some people are and I don’t think Melissa is that person who is honestly proud of what she did.
Do you know what. I kind of feel bad for Melissa, because I don’t think she was actually intentionally trying to hurt people. I think if she was sexually abused or whatever people use drugs as a way to escape like instead of doing something productive, that makes the person happy they go about it, the wrong way, and they use drugs as a way to escape the pain of their past
And +2 Melissa was a nurse so she probably has seen a lot of sick patients. She probably has seen a lot of patients in pain and she probably didn’t like to see that so she probably was hurting inside. Probably was extremely hurt you know so she used a drug that can mimic cancer and then used the diagnosis of cancer to explain why she didn’t feel good. Do you know. But I don’t think she intentionally wanted to hurt anybody. I don’t think so at least I’m hoping not.
My mom doesn’t work anymore. My mom doesn’t make money anymore because she doesn’t do her van run anymore because I think the van runs are a little bit more awkward. I think now they don’t have their routes that my mom used to do.
Like my mom used to love to just do her van run in Orillia where she lives well they don’t have that much anymore so she doesn’t like to do that so she just doesn’t work anymore unless she gets to cover for somebody then she will cover for somebody and then get paid doing that. But other than that she doesn’t get paid because she doesn’t work anymore and it’s rude. Too bad you know because Mom loves that job you know she’s been doing that ever since I was in public school you know like elementary school
Like nine or 10 years old I was when she had that job so she used to take me to school on her bus that she used to drive. So it really does hurt me kind of that she’s not able to do the job. But at the same time, I am happy because that means when I go and visit I can visit her for longer periods of time you know
