Forward Emails for
Cancer Victim Little LaNisha Jackson-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
Eight-year-old LaNisha
Jackson has lung cancer from second-hand smoke as well as a tumor from
repeated beatings. If you forward the email about her, the
Make-A-Wish Foundation will donate 7 cents per email for her medical
care.
The Truth: This
is a hoax that has caused a great deal of frustration for the good folks
at the Make-A-Wish foundation. There is no cancer victim named
LaNisha Jackson and Make-A-Wish does not participate in any fund
raising involving forwarded emails. Their mission is to grant
the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses.
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
Hi, my name is LaNisha Jackson.
I am 8 yrs old, and I have severe lung cancer from second hand
smoke.
I also have a large tumor in my brain, from repeated beatings.
The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't
pay the bills.
The Make A Wish Foundation, has agreed to donate 7 cents for every name on
this list. For those of you who send this along, I thank you
so much, but for those who don't send it, God bless you just the
same. Have a Heart, please send this. Please, if you are a kind
person, send this on.
PLEASE HIT FORWARD BUTTON
