UPDATE: We found Anthony. Chile...he in jail.

Though he gave her my number, buddy got hemmed up on some other stuff. He was supposed to take the kids this weekend because Sis' birthday is Sunday. Now, all her birthday weekend plans are shot and she's really sad about it.
So, if you wanna help me help Sis still enjoy her birthday by sending her a little blessing, let me know! Text or DM me!
YALL ARE SHOWING OUT FOR LIL SIS!!!!!
YALL! Not ONLY are yall still sending coins, Sis got an offer for some free summer camp days!!!!!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!
ROUND THREE!!! THANK YALL!!!!
MORE DONATIONS JUST CAME IN!!!
SIS IS LITERALLY $20 AWAY FROM 1K TODAY!!!!
$1,000 IN ONE HOUR!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you’re still giving! Y’all! This became more about more than Anthony lying, getting locked up and her birthday. When y’all kept giving, she became so overwhelmed and SHOWED me her $500 past due light bill. YALL PAID THAT TODAY!!!!

Thank you so much! She thanks you so much!!
$1600 because a daddy gave the mother of his child the wrong number, got locked up, left her in a bind and y’all wasn’t having it. THANK YALL SOOOOO MUCH
The kids just got home from school and she had them say thank you.
When people let you know they gave their holiday weekend WEED MONEY, you know it's real! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Over $2,000 you’ve sent this sister. There are no words. “Thank you” feels woefully insufficient.

This is CRAZY. This is BEAUTIFUL.
...got another $600 to send Sis but I just got off the phone with @PayPal and they told me I've hit the limit of what I can send her for the day. So, if you sent me a donation after 4:40pm EST or still want to give (PayPal: candicebenbow@gmail.com), it will be sent tomorrow!
We really appreciate this!! We've been talking all day and are just in AWE! When today started, all Sis wanted was for Anthony to honor his word and now she's ending the day with close to $3K!

LOOK WHAT GOD AND AMAZING PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAN DO!!!
FINAL UPDATE: WOW! Thank yall so much for raising $3,250 in just ONE day for Sis to enjoy her birthday and treat her children to a fun weekend in spite of what's going on with their dad!
Because of your OVERWHELMING generosity, Sis was able to catch up on past due bills, get some much needed things for the kids, treat herself and -in her own words- "put some money away and save it."
She was also treated to some free summer camp days, tickets to a musical, a dozen cupcakes and some other birthday gifts just for her!
Because of yesterday's transactions and the final transfer is $1200, @PayPal's fraud detection alerts has been triggered. Consequently, I have to wait an ADDITIONAL 24 hrs before I can transfer this final balance to her. I've told her and she's talked with PayPal to confirm.
Thank you to every single person who gave. If you wanted to give but didn't have it, please know that many people donated in honor of you- literally saying their donation was made in honor of those who want to give but couldn't. So, thank yall too!
So many folks reached out with their own pressing needs, asking for assistances, and I wish I could crowdsource for everyone. Everybody's needs are important and, if I can connect folks with some resources, I will do my best.
Low key, I wish some celebs and rich folk would collab with me on one big social media $$$ giveaway weekend! Matter of fact, celebs/rich folk/companies/PayPal/Cash App, call me and let's do it for real! Wouldn't that be dope?!
Again, Sis thanks you and so do I! The beauty in all of this is that I've made a new homegirl and can't wait to get home next month to meet her and the babies!! And all of this happened because of YOU!!! I hope yall see this blessing manifested in ways you couldn't even imagine!
Thank yall for reminding us all of what can happen when we lean into kindness and that this world is still filled with beautiful people.

Love,
Candice
