I feel the need to clarify for duhdaisy
Without it getting lost in a long thread of hurt upset posts here it all is laid out.
Duhdaisy & Mefunkho were not personal friends before TB, personal interaction did not start until after Marissa was already hospitalized.
It was not Duhdaisys idea to start the collection for Mefunkho it was another member of the board, it was also her idea to have Duhdaisy take it on because she is geographically close to Mefunkho.Duhdaisy then chose to organize it.
She gave options on the flowers & the stuffed animal that was delivered to the hospital to Marissa, not sure if it was on TB too but it was on the FB group she took votes, Marissa was kind enough to share a picture of it when she received them.
She also stated that she was going to get a gift card with the remaining balance on her paypal account to give Mefunkho & her husband so they could use it for whatever they needed be it gas to get to the hospital, baby related items, or food. It has been purchased & its going to be delivered to them next week.
Everyone knew they were donating to Mefunkho & that it was not going into some sort of pool for any 7/11 Bumpie. Amanda posted multiple updates with how much money had been received & has never once tried to hide the amount or what she was doing with it.
Lots of hugs to Duhdaisy for going through this this morning.
Also to Mefunkho & MrsLee for being subjected to this.
All my prayers continue to go to those 3 precious babies.

Re: I feel the need to clarify for duhdaisy
I just don't get ppl sometimes.... And I'm happy the OP took place, I can't imagine how duhdaisy would feel at this point.
Very well said.
Though unfortunately, the one who really needs to read and grasp this (stupid AE poster in earlier thread) probably won't even bother to.
Really? Someone had a problem with the fundraiser and gifts? I was (unfortunately) not in a position to contribute...but I saw all the threads relating to voting on the flowers, and plans for the leftover funds, etc.
Who would have issue with that?
Wonderfully said.
to be honest pretty sh!tty....but I did it for someone who needed their day to be cheered up. We had no idea what was going to be the outcome and am so happy that Addyson is doing well and thriving. I am also thinking about the new additions as well.
Try not to let some cowardly jerk get to you - clearly she has some issue that has nothing to do with what actually happened.
I think it's safe to say everyone (-1 crazy) thinks you had great intentions and were doing a good thing for someone. Be proud that you took the time and energy to do something positive.
I am very happy that I did it, but just can't believe some hoebag decided to publicly post a horrible accusation....
I appreciate all the support and love from you all! Def is brightening my day

I think I missed a sh!t-ton this morning, but I agree with the above.
There have been times that I didn't participate in a gift for a bumpie, and there have been times that I have. If a person doesn't want to participate...don't. It's really rather simple. No need to make a hoopla over not participating.

If anything I applaud you for taking on the responsibility to organize the fund raiser we did for Marissa and Addyson. I honestly couldn't think of a better person I would trust to do so, and you did it so that it was fair and people had a say in what was sent.
Had we known about Mrs. Lee I'm sure we would have done the same for her at the time as well.
I'm sorry someone attacked you for doing something out of the kindness of your heart, people can be cruel and idiotic.
This.
I am so glad you did the collection and that we were able to help out a fellow bumpie in some way. None of us would want to go through what Mefunkho went through and I am glad we could support her. So, THANK YOU!
