GreatSaltLuke Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If anyone missed it, there was some heartbreaking news about Britney Haynes over the weekend:https://twitter.com/britney_haynes/status/379076234199588864/photo/1This news was about 10x more crushing to me since I just had a little girl myself. Can’t imagine what it is like to go through that! I’m not the praying type but best wishes to Britney during this time… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canopus Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 There is a site setup to donate to help with any expenses for the family. #prayfortillyYeah, I'm not really a fan of someone using their fame to raise money for themselves. Better they used it to raise money for a worthy cause that benefits many people, not just the famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tritledee Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah, I'm not really a fan of someone using their fame to raise money for themselves. Better they used it to raise money for a worthy cause that benefits many people, not just the famous.From the link that Angie put up:About This ProjectBritney Haynes of Big Brother 12 and 14 announced the devastating news today that her newborn baby Tilly was diagnosed with Cancer. As we all know medical bills are very expensive, so this is set up to go directly to Britney and Ryan to try and help out as much as we can!NOTE: This was not setup BY Britney. It was set up by myself @Bmcooney / @BBCanadaInsider BBCanadaInsider.com. This is not a scam. The money WILL go to Britney. I know enough people, I will make sure EVERY cent goes directly to helping them in this hard time.IN THE EVENT THAT BRITNEY DOES NOT ACCEPT THE DONATIONS MONEY COLLECTED WILL BE DONATED TO ST. JUDE'S OR A CHARITY OF HER CHOICE.Thank you for donating. Every penny helps!As you can see, this isn't Britney trying to raise money for herself.

Marty Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 St. Jude is a wonderful charity. - Does so much to help the children and families that need it the most. I really think Britney would love people to donate to St. Jude.http://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f87d4c2a71fca210VgnVCM1000001e0215acRCRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's better than spending it on cigarettes or something. But my own personal belief in charity is that it should go to help many people, based on need, not fame.

Angie0207 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It is, and St. Jude Children's Hospital is my charity of choice. I also donate to the church in Baltimore.I have participated in St. Baldrick for several years as a shavee, and as a woman that is not easy, but that doesn't mean I didnt send some into this cause as well. i try to help out personal and general cases as I can. I am glad people are donating to whatever they feel is best to honor little Tilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowpoke Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm sure there's a way to donate to St. Jude's where you can donate in Britney and Tilly's name.They might even notify Britney of your donation.Even if they don't notify her ... it all goes to the same cause...

BigBroFanTX Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Unfortunately, I know just how expensive it can be. My son was diagnosed with Leukemia. At the time we lived in Austin, Tx. He had to go to Houston several times a month and when he received his bone marrow transplant, he had to stay there for 3 months straight. That meant that one of us had to quit our job to be his caregiver. Income cut in half and bills doubled. There are some organizations that help with travel, etc, but the loss of income is devastating. I was lucky, and had some very generous friends and family assist me with bills during these times. I guess that is what is going on here. Being a BB fan and helping out someone that just happened to entertain us for a while. I lost my son in 2006, so my thoughts and prayers are with Britney and her family. It is heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend from high school also lost her son to Leukemia and I know that they took a very big financial hit. The last thing someone should have to worry about in that type of situation is money, but unfortunately it can't be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I feel for her and I am sending positive thoughts and prayers to her family. I lost my daughter to SIDS and the pain of losing a child never goes away. I am sorry for anyone who has lost a child or has to live everyday with a child fighting an illness its hard to keep going.
