Donor Tells Parents of Toddler With Cancer: I Won’t Give Because You’re Lesbians
By Hemant Mehta, April 17, 2019

Tiffany and Albree Shaffer found out earlier this year that their 18-month-old daughter, Callie June, suffered from advanced neuroblastoma. According to a news report, the cancer had advanced to the point where she was in need of 18 months of “chemotherapy, radiation treatment, a bone marrow transplant and surgery.”

She’s current in the hospital (and doing okay!) and her parents created a GoFundMe page to raise money for her treatment. But on the Facebook page where they’ve been providing updates on Callie June’s treatment, someone recently sent a message saying they were going to donate thousands of dollars… until they realized the girl’s parents were lesbians.

“My prayers for Callie. I was going to donate $7600.00 to her fund, but I found out her parents are lesbian. I’ve chosen to donate to St. Jude due to that fact. Sorry. I’ll still pray for her though but maybe it’s God’s way of getting your attention that she needs a mommy and a daddy, not 2 mommy’s,” the message read.

It’s a despicable statement coming from anyone, and even more perverse that a Christian would use a baby girl’s cancer as a way to demonize her loving parents.
