We just wanted to make a public service announcement because we keep seeing this GoFundMe on the Facebook machine from a Spencer woman named Sammie Holand:
Enough people have brought it to our attention, and we see that people are still falling for this scam, so we just wanted to warn you NOT to fall for it. Sure, it might seem heartwarming, but it’s clearly a scam. When we first saw this we were hesitant to write anything about it. We didn’t know the whole story. Plus it’s Christmas and Turtleboy is a huge softie.
But at the same time, where is the personal responsibility? What is wrong with our society when people are people not completely embarrassed to ask for a handout like this? This woman, Sammie Holland, and her baby daddy are 18 years old, capable of working, and willingly brought a child into this world. Based on their Facebook pages they have extended family support that many others in their situation do not.
This is symptomatic of a growing trend in this country – the GoFundMe-ification of America. Back in my day you’d have way too much pride to ask strangers to pay for your parking and meals while you were in the hospital. I mean, how much could it possibly cost? $50? If two parents can’t figure out a way to scrounge up $50 without a GoFundMe then why the hell are they parents?
Here’s the thing, according to her Facebook page her kid is now out of the hospital:
And her initial post said that the GoFundMe was to pay for her parking and food while she visited her son in the hospital. But now she has supposedly lost her job:
Sorry, but I’m having a hard time believing that any employer would fire a regular employee after a couple days, at Christmas, because their kid was in the hospital. It’s just not believable. So yea, she’s clearly lying about this, which means she’s using her kid’s unfortunate situation as a get rich quick scheme. Even though her son is out of the hospital, she still wants your money. And to make matters worse she’s exploiting her son’s hospital visit to raise more money with a raffle:
Just think, if you buy 6 “entry’s” into this “raffle,” for only $80-$100, then you can win a shitload of half empty shampoo bottles and used purses. Because someone has to pay for her to live while she doesn’t get a job.
She’s also posted it on basically every single buy/sell Facebook page in the Worcester County area, with ZERO SHAME:
Disgusting. The thing about these pages is that they’re really good places to buy new and used crap. And the fact that some GoFundMe queen is using it to get people to pay her rent because her and her able-bodied boyfriend are too lazy to work is what really offends me most about this. Don’t disrespect Facebook yardsale pages. Those are sacred grounds.
We don’t do kids on Turtleboy Sports, but if you check out her Facebook page you will see that she is sharing videos of her kid engaging in pretty strenuous physical activity, that any doctor would recommend a three year old NOT DO immediately after such a “serious” surgery. She also calls him a “pussy” or a “sissy” when he punches the bag and falls down.
This is Sammie Holland and her baby daddy Tim Hyson:
Newsflash – if you own an iPhone, things can’t possibly be that bad. And as you can see, neither of them is disabled, and they obviously are getting by. She’s can afford tattoos and she’s obviously not the hungry person she’s claiming to be in order to solicit donations. But that’s because don’t need the money, but they’re using their three year old son’s brief sickness to try to fleece people into paying for their new washing machine at Whitco.
Oh yea, and we’re living in a country where you get free health insurance and the government will not allow an unwed mother go destitute. There’s a million and one government programs that she could be utilizing, and more than likely she’s already doing that. She’ll be fine. She doesn’t need your money, and we just wanted you to be aware of this before you become the next sucker to fall for these chiseler’s magic bucket of tricks.
You’re not the first people to go through hard times. You’re not the first people to have to go to the hospital for an unexpected visit. There are people out there with kids who are dying of cancer and are in a much, much worse position than you are. They figure out a way to make it work. This is a growing trend in this country that needs to end. Get off your ass, get a job, take care of your kids, and stop trying to guilt people into financing your personal irresponsibility.
P.S. I think it’s safe to say that this is largely Kevin Hayes and Tracy Crowe’s fault. It’s their school district that cut back on everything so they could finance a six figure witch hunt of some teachers. If this woman had just had a chance to participate in show choir or use a bathroom stall with a door, then maybe she would’ve graduated last year as a responsible citizen.

They need them to try out theirr game, to level up quickly.
This first-of-its-kind, sports award and entertainment event for kids, is created and produced in association with IMG
Media, the production arm of global sports, entertainment and media company, IMG.
He seems to be focusing all of his attention towards
Kendra James and she seems interested in Akoni as well.
Please somone start a go fund me for fat Sammy and her troll bf. Clearly two of the ugliest people in spencer. This is quite an acomplismeant as well bc spencer had some of the biggest trolls
First of all, I find it hard to believe she lost her job. The Family Emergency Leave Act protects her job if she has a health related problem concerning an immediate family member – which she does – she only has to go to Human Resources at her place of employment and complete the form. It is a federal law – so that’s a bunch of baloney.
LOL that cuck loser Tim Hyson. Is this the same 15 year old he knocked up, or a new one? A+ parenting from generation to generation. I’m sure he has a long, productive life ahead of him. Why is Spencer such a shithole? The world would be so much better off if the town didn’t exist.
Same
I know of a family doing something VERY similar, trying to use the sickness of her 8 y/o daughter to get money. He is nothing but a scam artist and has been coning people out of money for years. She doesn’t work. They are asking for $30,000 for a new van. At first the GoFundMe account stated the van was unsafe, now they say the ramp doesn’t always work. Well if you look through the pictures they can clearly afford a trip to Florida, but can’t afford a down payment on a new van? Oh and they plan on using the MDA to try to raise funds for said van as well. “Patenaude said she hopes Destinee’s involvement with MDA raises money for the association, but also assists with fundraising for a new or improved ramp van.”

Love Whitco and Texas Roadhouse, just sayin
Wow why u gunna ask money from hard wrkn ppl. Why not get a job like rest of us. Think I mite have to set up a go fund me page to get my rent paid, my gas paid, and so I can get take out too.
Here’s the real question. Why do you give a shit? If this person starts a gofundme that is based on real life despite your opinion that this is lazy and people decide to donate money why is it your business? Are you against both private and public “handouts”? Seems like your priorities are twisted. There’s a lot going on on the world try broadening your horizons or at least confinining then to areas you actually have knowledge of.
Think ‘m going to start a GoFundMe page…I am in desperate need of a bottle of Apothic White wine….$12.99…..please share people…anything helps!
LOL Maddie
I am going to set up a GoFundMe page because I am sick in tired of working & paying taxes for lazy people like Sammie!
If I had a dollar for every time someone threatened turtleboy with a lawsuit, I’d be one rich bitch!
As far as “suing for defamation”…. <<<<(which by the way, that's the correct spelling) the definition of defamation states:
n. the act of making untrue statements about another which damages his/her reputation. If the defamatory statement is printed or broadcast over the media it is libel and, if only oral, it is slander.
But there is also this wonderful amendment which gives us Americans the freedom of speech. Because Sammie posted on a public social forum, she allowed her words to be read and gave the public free access to her words including the right to have anyone respond to it in whichever way they have the right to speak.
So your suing threats aren't worth shit, a judge will laugh you out the door. If everyone sued everyone for name calling, cat-calling, bullying, etc; we would never have jobs because ours asses would be in court every single fahkn day.
As for her character and choices she made, that's what it is, her choices. She choose to get pregnant at the age of 15, went bat-shit crazy all excited and mentioning trying to get pregnant, picking future names and then, whoa, she's pregnant….with an 18 year old for that matter. She knew long before that getting pregnant this young was a bad choice, she was told the repercussions that she could face getting pregnant early. She chose not to listen, and now she states she's struggling. C'est la vie….let her learn from her mistakes and continue to raise her son as good as she could. We are no better bashing on her than any other person, but maybe this way, she'll finally get off her ass and do something to better her life and her sons life instead of becoming another spencer townie statistic living in a shithole and never taken seriously.
I cant handle the illiteracy of half these comments. They really all should worry about finishing school instead of figuring out who the next person to sue is.
Hunny I graduated 🙂
Then you would know there is no for of honey that is spelt like that.
It made me so sad to watch that video of her son in his too-small diaper trying to punch the punching bag. Why don’t you put some clothes on the poor kid? He looked miserable and not like he was having fun at all. And I’m pretty sure that is a tattoo on your left breast.
This shit is to fn funny!!!! This chick has had how many go fund me pages in the past year? And 2 grand for a hospital stay really??? Fact is I was there the same time your ass was and besides the fact that eating was the last thing on my mind you know as a real mother, they gave me vouchers to the cafeteria everyday that I was there and my parking was validated I paid 20 bucks for the week and could come and go as I pleased which was great for my kids father seeming he went to work while I stayed at her bedside the entire time like I always do seeming I’m a hospital mom due to her having special needs and he’s a real father and went to work to earn money so we could live like adults with money earned and funny supposedly u were bedside ur child’s entire visit so where did all that gas money come in? And not to mention they have kitchens there with fridges and microwaves heat some leftovers ur ass isn’t to good for that oh and fridge is stocked with soda and juice and pantry is stocked with bread peanut butter and jelly and crackers get over yourself you should’ve been worrying about your kid instead of talking shit about your go fund me page to all the nurses
I read this entire article and have one thing to say to the obviously jealous person who wrote the article…GET A LIFE AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Who cares they have a go fund me page. If people want to donate their money, that is their business, not yours. You aren’t the woman or the baby’s father. You don’t walk in the same shoes they are walking in. You have gone and judged them accusing them of scamming others. I know first hand what it is like to have a sick child who needs surgeries and to be piss poor…not because I am lazy…but, because my child comes first before any job and yes, I have lost a job before because of personal family issues and time I needed of from work to be with my sick child.. I personally think you have a personal vendetta against the couple and so you are doing all you can to give these kids a bad name. What are you, an ex boyfriend of hers looking to get even cuz she’s with that guy and no longer you? GROW UP! LOSER
I’m all for helping people that need help, but using your kid as an excuse to get money for college or everyday expenses such as food, that you should be able to afford is a bunch of bs. My family has fallen on tough times just like millions of others have and we do what is needed on our end first to make it before we ask our family for help let alone strangers. Anything that you don’t NEED to survive is something you can part with, tv, xbox, iphone, playstation, etc. I should know I’ve had to give up all those things in the past years until through hard work and determination I’ve made it to where I am now. Baby daddy can’t find a job, can’t get into or afford college, join the military!! I joined right out of HS and is still one of the best life choices I’ve made. Guess what? They even give you money for college and you can actually make money at the same time for going if you do it right!!! I’m not saying this is the road to go, but when you’re down on your luck and you need a new path to travel sometimes the hardest one right now is the best one to take in the long run. Don’t be like every other bottom feeder that wants things handed to them. Don’t be another one of the late 90’s generation to expect things to be handed to them. I’m not saying don’t ask for help, but do everything in your power and in your control like I said above before you go that road. That being said, hope everyone reading this has a great New Year!!
Pathetic… she even used to post on yard sale sites looking for a babysitter. I don’t see why you would let anyone you didn’t know at all babysit your child… talk about a pathetic excuse for a mother. People need to get involved.
yet people trust day care workers to babysit their child …and they started out as someone they didn’t know. Just saying…
I think the problem “Ur so pathetic.” was bringing up was when asking complete strangers on Facebook you have no clue who will respond. It is 100% blind. If you were to go to a daycare or other such place/person you usually can get copies of licenses and references to insure they are trustworthy.
I work at UMASS.. and even I have to pay for parking. Should I set up a go fund me page?? I mean.. seriously? Mooch….
This is not about judgement this is about abuse of a site to help people who really need it. Not so someone can get their parking and food paid for. Wake up!!
I can’t wait to see this lier when I go to work today as a PCA! If your so concern about food, ( which we see your not starving at all) and taking time off from your job, then Fix It!! If you both work (not walking to mailbox to get your check that we pay for), try taking turns with said child. There are ways around it. If He Works day shift, then you work nights. That way one of you is with the child. But if he is home, then ask family for a hand in watching so you can work, if you really had a job as a PCA.
Stay the hell off the internet making up stories and being called out on your lies. Make your lunch, like many of us do That Work!
Car pool. Have him drop you off, he can work, then go back to hospital to do the daddy thing while you work. Stop looking for a hand out!!! We all have issues. Your child is not fighting a deadly disease like cancer or something else in that area. Be happy that he is OK, and be a mother and a leech
So I’m just going to state my opinion, first those of you that are telling turtleboy to get his facts straight, stop picking on people etc. He clearly stated he waited until after Christmas and until he got more facts! He also stated he ignored many reports about the go fundme account that was set up, because like we all know so many people use it as a way out to be lazy and not work etc. Now to the YOUNG parents of this 3yr old, when you put up a public page asking for handouts the critism comes with it, I’m sorry your child had to go thru any testing etc. But it seems you have used every excuse in the book to try to get people to give you handouts before this happened, if your child is truley sick I am so sorry and wish him the best, but if you ask me this is karma picking your ass, you can’t just keep asking for handouts to pay for every little thing which I have a strong feeling none of the pages were ever truley for any of those things, I also think you get government assistance already at the very least foodstamps and if you were working as a p.c.a and you got let go because of a legit reason its called unemployment I’m only saying these things in the case that your being completely honest about your child and if your not you think this article sucks, to use your child as away to get handouts by lying and saying he or she is sick etc. Karma is a bitch.. I hope for that poor child’s sake you smarten up and get your shit together!! The father don’t even get me started!!
What a price of trash. October my car was t-boned and was totaled. From that I lost my job because I had no way to get there. We have been living off one income since then. And if that means I can’t see my husband for a couple weeks so that we all have a roof over our head then that’s what needs to be done. We would not have kept my daughter if we weren’t prepared to do what ever we needed to do to take care of her.
This girl needs a little dcf in her life. Last time I checked a single mom is by herself. You so worried about your son but your on fb all day. Trash, hope you learn to really provide instead of looking for handouts. Some people have no shame
If this wasn’t a scam how come the gofundme is now taken down. I know if it was me and it was TRULY needed some hate wouldn’t cause me to remove it. That right there tells me how little it actually mattered to her. One article slamming and its removed the same day? Sorry i was giving the mother the benefit of the doubt until I saw it was taken down.
There is a option to click if you feel it’s a scam, then gofundme will look into it and make the decision to remove it, and possibly return the money to The donors and to not give the money to the recipient.
Wow, what a lot of judgmental people. It’s really easy to criticize and make judgments when hiding behind your computer. I don’t think a single person knows even half of the real story (I certainly don’t) but many are quick to bash. It sounds like there are some intelligent, resourceful, people out there and many have figured out how to make life work well for them regardless of obstacles and challenges and this family could possible learn a lot from this people. Instead of bashing how about some advice or empathy? It seems they are in a tough situation. The situation may indeed be of their own design but bashing accomplishes nothing other than a cheap thrill when others “like” your comment. Young people make mistakes- it’s how they learn from them that make them better people.
Here’s a couple ideas
– If Mom works as a PCA try to get work in the evenings or overnights. The medical profession offers the ability to work all shifts or longer shifts and a shorter work week.
– Tell baby daddy to work a second job at night or during the weekend.
– See if you can move back home to a parents home for a brief period to get back on your feet, but make it a permanent move and leach of them until the kid graduates school.
– If your willing to ask for help on a multiple websites, apply for any and all benefits the state offers.
^ Don’t make it a permanent move back home, just enough time to get back on your feet. The get back out there and be an adult.
People gave advice . She did none to help her self and trust me I would say it to her face then sit on my phone text it
Hi, I completely am in agreement with you…lots of judgemental people doing a whole lot of bashing about a couple they don’t even know and don’t know ALL the FACTS. . Personally I feel everyone should mind their own business and instead worry about their own personal problems.
It’s funny .. Karma is a bitch .. This person been scamming people begging for all kinds of stuff on these sites . Taken free from people and re selling the stuff on these sites for years . People kick her off these sites and she uses other names to get back on . I been in a shelter , poor as fuck and I still found ways to support my kids . I never did this shit to ask for help . What I did was sell what I had to get cash on these sites , as family for help and go to pantrys to get food but dam I never eat out cuz I still can’t afford the good shit . Get a fucken job , get ur lazy ass to welfare or pantrys . Stop begging , stop posting ur rock bottom cuz u for one don’t look like ur going with out food . Trust me every one talking about ur ass on these fb sites . I remember u …I rip ur ass cuz u tried to scam me and ur ass got rip and one thing take a bus and lunch to the hospital if not walk it . God dam I can’t believe u went this low to beg for shit .its right this go fund shit is like pan handling … Some people really need the help with go fund but other who r soooooo lazy r like the bum on the street sucking people dry .. This is too funny . I’m passing this along … There a lot of have seen this girl do on the sites begging for free and resell it ..
Wow, I just (after almost a year being posted) saw Turtle Boys posting of this fraudulent GoFundMe page by a Spencer resident Sammie Holland.
I had the pleasure (not) of meeting “This” (no comment) at a birthday party 2 years ago. The party was held in Charlton, Ma (for 2 young brothers) given by a woman that would give her last dollar to any child in need. How did Sammie H thank her for the invite….by entering the home locating the owner’s pocketbook & stealing well over $100. Cameras don’t lie! It’s been said many times that she is barred from several different Walmarts due to sticky fingers!
It is people like you that is giving Spencer it’s bad name. Get A Job!
I’m not going to judge anyone, but if someone is using their children to scam people thats just wrong.. my daughter had back surgery in oct 2015 it’s been very difficult. She has a slight learning disability, and is uninary incontinence at night for the rest of her life and now we just found out she has sleep apnea. . My son has a lot of mental health that causes him to go to special school.. I had to leave my 2 jobs to take care of my kids.. we have about 10 to 15 doctors appointment every week. When we joined gofundme we wasnt looking for food gas or money to blow .. we was looking for donations for medical supplies but people who abuse the sites make it hard for people to really get the help they need
Excuse my ignorance, but do schools teach English anymore? The occasional period and/or comma goes a long way in allowing fellow commentors to decipher what it is that you’re trying to communicate.
I don’t usually comment on controversial issues or articles in general but felt the need to here. I don’t know this family. I have no right to judge or tell others how to donate. Considering that I have seen people collect on that site to buy a new car…I’d gladly accept this as a reason.
I am not one to ask for help. However, when we lost our son in the nicu this year, nothing could have prepared us for the emotional or financial burden we’d be faced with. A close friend started a gofundme for us without asking and not only did it relieve us of thousands in medical bills, but also helped us to feel supported and hopeful during a time even getting up was difficult. We don’t make much money. I have a degree and we work hard but this economy has been challenging for us. If we were to wait to have a family until we could afford to unexpectedly pay thousands in medical bills, on top of the painful amount we pay in premiums each month, we would never be able to have one. Perhaps it’s our system that’s flawed.
I feel bad for this kid. The parents should be charged with neglect.
She had another go fund me page awhile back about how she needed to get out and she needed money…. not to sound rude but shit get a job I am,a single mom have 4 kids and have a job it’s called responsibility I’m not gonna say your boy ain’t sick and needs help but shit if my kid was sick and needed things I would get 4 more jobs to give him what he needs not ask for hand outs people these Days are so frigen lazy it’s pathetic and spencer is hiring everywhere … just saying
Your baby’s daddy can’t provide your family so can’t you work overnights as a pca? My husband and I alternate taking our son to appoints. We switch work shifts. We make things work to make ends meet.
I see her post things everyday for my money its disgusting people who actually are truly I’ll don’t even ask for money they ask for prayers this girl is disgusting wow u lost ur job give me a break any home health agency will work around ur schedule she’s a lier and I heard the kid had his appendix out nothing major so go cry some where else u low life scumbag
I understand some people need help but this is a lot more than just needing help! I myself was a young mom and never used welfare or lived off the system. It is called grow up and take care of your own. She chose to have this child. She should care for him. Not ask from others!!! She has abused go fund me for quite sometime. I have seen it numerous times for collage, being sent to a shelter and now her child is sick. Come on!!! It is ridiculous that she is CONSTANTLY looking for hand outs from others! TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN KID! If you can’t then you shouldn’t have had him. That simple!!!!! GROW UP!
I think all you supposed “holier than art though” people should really just stfu lol. Basically, yout saying you have never had hard times which is BS and you know it. Your bashing this girl over a NEWS ARTICLE THAT DOESNT EVEN KNOW THE REAL FACTS!!!! This is NOT. reputable news site guys. The article jjust sounds to me like alot of bashing. Im a single Mom, work 2 jobs for my.kids, but that doesnt give.me a right to judge, and if anyone callled my kid overweight id fuck you up. Ive already punched someone for calling them an asshole. I know your mad at the Mom, but leave the kid alone.
You sound like an All-Star mother.
Sure lady, I’m sure you never make judgements about anyone. I love the supporters who default to it’s nobody’s right to judge. Actually, your free to judge if you’d like just as much as these two people have a right to contradict things with facts. That’s what happens in life, people judge eachother. It’s kind of a how people filter out who’s lying and BSing and who’s honest and sincere.
If you put yourself out there publically on GoFundMe asking for money for whatever cause people certainly have right to ask questions to test if your legitimate especially if things might not ad up based on posts from other sites. If you want people’s hard earned money without working for it than expect to be judged.
I have 2 kids that combined have spent over a month in the hospital over 3 years. I have spent probably 1/4 of the last 4.5 years driving and hour or more from my house to take my daughter to doctors. I drive her to therapy 2-5 times a week and some how I have done it all with out asking for money. We are below poverty but somehow still find a way. I have set up fundraising for adaptive equipment but it is from a website where you can only use it for adaptive equipment and not “gas” and “food”. You may think that you are going trough a hard time but where there is a will there is a way.
This girl was 15 when she got pregnant by a boy who was older than her…she was going to school at Bay Path and dropped out and supposedly went back to proudy..she’s been scamming since she was 15 selling on these sites even changing her name and using other people’s..she’s very capable of working and also has family to help her. If you are so poor than you shouldn’t be able to afford a phone..I have seen so many oh I need this oh please help me get to work…I am going to a shelter, posts over the past feed years. Life isn’t a handout. I know we all have fallen on hard times but we don’t go begging the public we figure it out because we’re adults.
GoFundMe is a fundraising site for people to create for OTHERS in need. People who create a gofundme page for themselves are greedy and probably scamming. The people who need money raised are usually too busy, too distraught or have to much pride to create one for themselves. So what if the job you had wouldn’t wait for you, get a new job. You do everything you can to care for your children. Sell your nice things on the yard sale sites rather than beg people for money. Scumbags.
Seriously your all so quick to judge this girl and her situation. She made a mistake at a young age but made the decision to own it and raise her child with out state help. Why is it anyone’s business how much her son weighs or what her age is she asked for a little help. I’ve seen go find me pages for far more rediculous things then money to help with expenses while he was in the hospital. People should look in their own closets for their skeletons and stop being so quick to judge others
Honestly that little three year old boy is wayyy to fucking over weight !!!!! How could you let your baby get like that at fucking three years old I understand growing boy but fuck, no! Lol an whatever she said in the video “pussy”, “sissy”, again fucking three years old how could you talk to your baby like that idk some shit should be done different! But not my child or life thank god so nothing I can do! And for fucking sure ain’t donating I’ve been working my ass off since the day i was able to have a job I’d be lost without one at this point grow the fuck up! For you and that little boy! I have times where I have $0 dollars with a car payment no damn food nothinggggg but I’m not begging people on the internet for money! If you wanna just donate like that everyone ill give you my account information help me! Lmfao 😉
The child appearing overweight or large for his age could possibly be part of hos illness. No one needs to bash the kid at all on here. He is clearly as much of a victim , if donated toys are sold& illness used. So please everyone keep the kid out of it as far as direct insults about how he looks. And since there is video of name calling why doesnt someone call DCf with some facts and let them decide if it all together warrants neglect, abuse, or legitimate bad parenting. Just saying.
I have taken the time to go over everything and read everything. Let me start off by saying that little boy is extremely over weight for 3 years old. Maybe some healthy food and some dieting maybe that boy won’t have so many medical problems. So that makes them bad parents you want your 3 year old to have a heart attack or a clogged arteries before he is an adult. Your parents didn’t teach you nothing about patenting.
I drive from southbridge to Worcester m-f and it cost me 25$ a week in gas so please do say it cost oflipver a 100$ because thats a big lie. There is two of you one of you can definitely can work and if food is expensive there bring a dam lunch there is a lot of single, poor parents and you dont see the begging like you. GET A JOB …

There is two of you one of you can definitely can work and if food is expensive there bring a dam lunch there is a lot of single, poor parents and you dont see the begging like you. GET A JOB …
Is this the same girl on the yard sale sites sayinf she was going in to a shelter and had nothing for her son but trying to sale her sons stuff but blows everyone off when they get to the house wasting ppl time to give her money that she soo needs. And if they are paying for rent at two places why not move in in one appartment. And i am a pca and my son was hospitlized for 3 weeks and i got to keep my job abd moved me to a new shift that worked better. Im a single mom with no help from anyone and i struggle some months but u dont see me doone of these i work 2 jobs and still just make it some months
Ahhh, the iPhone thing, you really hit a nerve with me with that one. Drives me insane to hear someone with an iPhone complain about money issues, and I’ve had this fight with people in my own family. You don’t NEED an iphone! And they are obviously not cheap.
Same for things like cable TV and daily coffee from Dunkin Donuts. The amount of people blowing large sums of money on these things and also complaining about money is astounding.
Karma is an interesting beast isn’t it Tanya DeJong???
She claims hospital food is expensive. She is right. BUT when they come with the menu for the kid to eat, she can order something for herself FREE. I know that for a fact, my kid has been hospitalized several times at umass. And there is away of getting around the parking, it’s called valet. I know if my kid is in hospital for days, I’m not leaving til she does. Valet is $7 doesn’t matter how long your there. A day, a month or a year still $7.
Her main concern is that her age wasn’t portrayed correctly.
Go Fund Me is basically panhandling on the Internet.
This is the same girl who (within the past 6 months) has posted a go fund me for people to help her with school expenses, claiming she is a single mother and can’t pay for school.
Her last go fund me about her “sick kid” is back up!!!
What a fucking shithead!
” hospital food was very expensive.” boohoo. pack a lunch!
Funny how you think you know everything. You call other people pathetic yet you sit behind a keyboard talking shit about things you have no idea about. For 1, you might wanna get shit straight because you didn’t even get our age right! funny someone who can talk so much shit has no clue what they’re talking about. And a week at the hospital going back and forth cost $102 and hospital food was very expensive. So again, $50? Okay. The raffle is not mine. I did not make it. Was just told to share it. And if you think I’m lying about my job you can try again. I am a pca, people couldn’t wait on me being in the hospital, they had to give my clients away, not that I have to tell you because I don’t. So keep on bashing me and calling me a liar when you don’t have an ounce of clue as to what’s going on. I would gladly work if I could. Me and my boyfriend have applied to a ton of jobs. Why don’t YOU go work? Oh right you sit behind a computer and bash people, that’s a job alright. I don’t have an I phone, and I don’t have a single tatoo either so once again you look stupid. And I don’t have a washer at whitco. So your list just keeps getting longer buddy.
hey Samantha, go ‘holla’ at some more jobs. if you put in as much effort sending out applications as you did spamming Facebook begging for money you might find something.
Remove article or face legal action
LOL
Funny
Bryan strikes again with his amazing prowess of the English language!
Let me help you, buddy:
Remove THIS article, or YOU WILL face legal action.
Personally, I’d expand on that idea a little bit. Maybe drop a lawyers name, or read up on your bird law. DEFAMATION (that’s actually how it’s spelled) only applies to FOUNDED incidents of libel or slander. Seems to me this is pretty spot on, buddy.
Also, as a PCA, she should be able to afford health insurance, if she’s licensed.
We should get a beer some time, as I’d like to see where society failed you.
There is a thing called the emergency family medical leave act that would actually make it illegal for her employer to fire her over missing work for a serous medical family issue so agin she’s lying and goes to show how lazy she is and I think her dads a riot take it down or I’ll sue buddy its America freedom of press
Muahahha this fuck.
Lol, get a job! Now you want to sue, what’s next for you people.
Small town internet lawyers strike again.
I find it really sad that you were just proven wrong on several counts in your clearly unresearched article and instead of being a true journalist you just continue bashing- especially at this time of the year. If you are not professional enough to call out your mistakes or dig deeper then you should have just ignored her post. Clearly you have already done damage to the girls reputation- congratulations! Is it really necessary to insult her, especially at this time of the year? Also, finding a job around the holidays is harder than you think- especially if there are many days you will be unable to work of you have an unclear schedule. Should people that can not afford a child have them- probably not but accidents happen and it’s how you deal with them that define you as a person or parent. I have seen couples much better off fall on hard times due to health issues and unexpected layoffs. It happens and if you are not lucky enough to have a large support system it’s not easy to get right back up. I don’t necessarily agree with the avenues this girl is using but it seems that she has her sons best interests at heart and who am I or anyone else to judge? If people want to help her then who are you to criticize? You do not have to help her and her son really is sick so it’s not like she is making things up.
Notice how on her facebook page she checked into UMASS and Texas Roadhouse on the same day?
Im 26 years old. I have a 2 month old a 3yr old and a 5 year old. Im far from rich…but my children are well support. They have everything they need. Why? Not because i beg for money but because im a hard worker. I unfortunately fell extremely ill myself while i was pregnant and ended up missing 4 months of work it was unexpected however my husband put in more hours to make ends meet. Thats what parents do. There is some weeks my husband works 70-80 hours. Thats how you parent. Not to mention when times are tight common sense would state dining at texas road house is not the brightest idea. Give me one good reason why you and you not legally binded husband cant make ends meet yet my legally binded husband and myself can and i will throw you a couple bucks of our hard earnd cash. McDonald’s doesnt turn anyone away..let me guess your too good to flip a burger?
It’s HILARIOUS you have the balls to say they didn’t even get your age right! Your ass IS 18!! Check out your own Facebook page dumbass you have a picture of your license showing your birthday as 7/30/1997.. Last time I checked that makes you 18, exactly what they said.
Because FB is always accurate- right?
Okay… All bullshit aside. The photo of you and your “honey” in the shithouse shows the “selfie” being taken with a very expensive phone. The list of sites that you’ve gone on begging is endless. If indeed you held a job prior to your child becoming ill you certainly had a couple bucks salted away to pay the five bucks to park at Umass. Skip lunch, you won’t die! If indeed you did have clients, and you were half-assed good and responsible at what you did, I’m certain the company would have some sense of compassion and find you more. What does “honey” do for a living? Not much mention of him in all of this? New version of GTA out? C’mon lady. You’re not a victim. Your kid’s sick. Get off your ass and do the right thing. You’ve obviously never been schooled in hard work or moral ethics but you’ve been busted.
18year old mother who has been working since she was 16 finished high school got into annna maria college yea no hard work there moron
So if she’s such a hard worker, where does she find all theis spare time to beg on the internet?
Hard work that’s normal work, hard work would be doing on your iwn, no state assistance and nor trying to live off of go fund me…. my son was in the hospital and they do feed parents… all you gave to do us ask the nurse. This makes me sick there is no excuse……I stead of going home you should have tried spending the night with your scared sick child
Big fuckin deal. Many people graduate high school and college with kids. Shes a scumbag. Get FMLA then she can take all the time she needs. Bunch of leeches on society. Thats why i pay AT LEAST $600 a week in taxes, for low lifes like them/you.
Wasn’t even there a week and dropped out said it was to much also yea she might had a job but she always called cause she had a headache or son was sick and ten mintues later she out running around in the rain with him right on as a pArent not
I used to work with her. She would no call, no show constantly and I got texts from her to cover almost everyone of her shifts.
Lots of these shifts are only 2 hours and in the evening and within walking distance of her. Shes was doing that before her kid was in the hospital and shes gotten fired from other jobs too.
Leaving a client to fend for themselves when they literally can’t get out of bed is despicable. Find another line of work.
Oh and our union pays for schooling.
We could have switched shifts with her anytime but she just doesn’t want to work.
Why not stop at the supermarket and pack food for the hospital. It’s cheaper.
If she already receives food stamps to pay for her food, a household of 2 with no income receives $357/mo…asking the general public for more food money just appears a little greedy and kinda ballsy. Packing a sandwich and a bag of chips for lunch seems like a good way to prevent having to ask others to give you money.
PB and J’s are pretty cheap to prepare and pack an apple and a bottle of water…. brown bagging it is what most people do who cannot afford luxuries such as restaurant food
Heck, I can afford some luxuries, but certainly not rich, and still brown bag it, while other people around the office eat out, rip butts, and complain they have no money. A homemade PB&J or turkey sandwich, a pack of store brand chips or pretzels, and bottle of water is pretty affordable. #oldschool #notmillennialandcanfigurethingsoutonmyown
FYI pca have sick time don’t try to tell me dif cause I will post the paper about the sick time and being a pca I believe that your clients would understand cause I know all of mine would pretty sad u r using your son being sick as a excuse to be a lazy ass parent if u can’t afford unexpected things then don’t bring children into this world keep your legs closed and maybe u should start to worry about DCF since u can’t take care of your child the way he should be cared for
Think about it, go buy a loaf of bread and some PB and jelly, wow…..under $10 you can multiple meals, who says you HAVE to eat hospital food……
The last time I checked if you need time off without the risk of losing your job you apply for FMLA, that’s why we have it to protect our job. Also, my daughter was treated for cancer at UMass and I remember them giving me vouchers to use for the cafeteria, so yes they do feed the families. There is also a refrigerator on the pediatric floor for families to use as well as a microwave. As far as parking goes, I was also given vouchers for parking. If you have a hardship that is what the pediatric social worker is for, talk to the social worker and their job is to support the family.
But all of your great suggestions require effort and then what would they have to complain about or beg for. She is getting a well deserved lashing on here and even though its not going to change what she is doing , at least potential donors can look for themselves and decide if they feel confident in sending any kind of donation.
When you set up a gogundfme you are asking for hand outs and putting yourself out there for this kind of attack. Show some pride. The world does not owe you. You can get a job. Try harder. If my daughter can work and go to college you can have a child and work. There are plenty of ways to make money without a steady job. Find one instead of being a leach.
God. Spencer has always been the scum of central ma and your proved to make that a correct statement. Your kid is fine. Maybe if he didn’t eat so much you would have money. None of you are missing meals.
You look very stupid, if it was serious your son still would be at umass, they don’t send you home becuz they feel it’s more comfortable. My son was in the hospital for 5 days, they fed me the stamped my parking when we both left. A job cannot fire you for a family emergency they have yo hold your job for 12 weeks before letting you go it’s the law.law . and why do you need gas money your ass should be there with him until he left not cruising around. You story has a lot of holes in it way before turtle boy got involved. It is very sad that you would use your child to benefit your selfish needs!!!
copy + paste
Going to go out on a limb here and say she hasnt missed a meal…
Okay i need to say a couple things. One, it’s not okay to out someone like that. Two, I was IN THE HOSPITAL WATCHING HER CHILD SHIT BLOOD and refuse to eat or drink or move from his bed. Yeah, some people have it worse. Some kids get cancer. Shit happens. I’m not saying that it doesn’t matter. I’m saying that for her, this is bad. This is a really hard time. She has to take days at a time off work to get him to appointments and no one is going to hire her when she needs that much time off. And dad can’t completely afford to pay both of their rent, and everything for the baby. It’s honestly just not possible. So get off your high horse and stop being so damn condescending. You don’t know anything about them.
you don’t buy a dog if you know you can’t afford unexpected vet bills. these children should have considered this before having a child.
That is some of the shittiest journalism I have ever seen. You are a bottom feeder.
Someone should have mentioned the ridiculous amount of gofundmes that she has started just in the last year. At one point she wanted money for graduating high school with a child. Then it was because she was homeless then she wanted to go to college. And then a car! Is there not a limit?!
It was to go to a “better college” because free QCC wasn’t good enough! How about you get your free education while you can! When and if you ever become a responsible hard working married mother who doesn’t qualify for any assistance but can’t afford to pay for college you’ll be wishing you took the free education. She’s a joke! Makes me sick and sad at the same time.
I remember this! And she was getting away from an abusive boyfriend
Medical bills are nothing compared to vet bills! Vet bills are predictable unfortunately you can’t predict that your child is going to get sick outside of the normal childhood illnesses and unless you’re a millionaire most people can’t afford the expenses even with insurance. My child had tubes put in her ears twice, it was a 30 minute out patient procedure. I could have bought a new car with the money I was charged for 2 silicone tubes that are the size of an ant! If everyone waited to have kids until they could afford them them I’m betting you wouldn’t be here. Kids are a huge expense for a parent at any age.
This article was mean and rude. I know personally how hard it is having a sick kid. My kid almost died last month. Nobody plans on having a sick kid.
I know her personally and this is not the first time she has done this. I know for a fact she was given a bunch of FREE clothes for her son when she first had him and started to sell them on the Facebook sites. She would also go on the free sites and get items and then sell them on other pages. To the point where the whole family was banned and blocked from the sites. It breaks my heart to know that some things won’t change
Just a bunch of want to be journalists .with no clue no dignity . as proven multiple time post articles stating no facts. Maybe a defimation law suit might be what is needed. Just further proof of the demise of this country where “journalist” write un founded articles. Followed by a group of uneducated lackies.
You can’t spell, punctuate or capitalize.
Pretty sure you aren’t the authority on being educated.
Actually it’s Punctuate
Which is what he put…
Arent you her father, so im sure you where in on the scamming to!!! Learn how to spell and wright a sentence!!
her Dad had much success 3grand running a gofund me to fly him back to Leicester real fuckin sob story …Apple does not fall far from the tree….
Haha. Write* nice try on the insult tho
It’s AREN’T and TOO not to, and it’s WRITE not wright
Leopards don’t change their spots. This is just a “new” way to scam people. I gave her new toys for her son, only to find them for sale on a yard sale sight. It is tough having a sick child, but take responsibility for your own life, the world doesn’t owe you something just because things don’t go according to plan. Grow the hell up!
Pretty sure it is not slander or liable if there is evidence. Clearly if there was a lawsuit with what TB has the freedom in america to say, that would be posted here too. If you dont like the page why dont you leave? I just dont understand people that like, follow, or friend someone or something just to bitch amd complain about whats posted. And yiur opinion is one thing but to spout about “journalism” serioulsy , get over yourself and dont read turtleboy. WTF is wrong with people.
My children’s father, who happens to be my husband, can afford everything for my children on his own. I’m a stay at home mom. We chose NOT to have kids until we could afford them, that is the difference, choice. It’s not other people’s responsibility to pay your bills because you made poor choices. There is no shame in being on public assistance or begging for money anymore… there should be. I would be mortified. If you can’t afford children, don’t have them.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Someone could have bought her that sell phone or when she was going to better times baby purchase it herself that should not have any bearing on the situation her taking it lightly to ask for handouts is her business and her business only if you don’t want to donate to her you don’t have to
Its not only her business when she posts it ALL over the internet. If historically she hadnt had GFM pages for all kinds of things , then this would have been a no – issue and the donors would have helped but to make a page for graduating, college, dom violence, etc. it is internet begging and it becomes the business of anyone reading it.
I know the family. Her father is a low life piece of shit just like her! This family sponges off the system. They don’t work and expect tax payers to pay there way! I’m glad she iS been exposed!
And if this was the only GFM page and they truly needed help , then people would help. But clearly if there is one after another and multiple reasons for essentially begging then its begging. And its unfortunate but it will cause donors to question when considering any sad story or plea for help to send money to. Like the boy who cried wolf. Probably should have saved web-begging for a genuine time of need , then it would have had some validity and no one would question helping a child.
Tanya De Jong is related to Sammie Holland, if I’m not mistaken it is her mother.
Yes she is
