After the family's story became public, donations poured into the family's fund-raising effort at www.gofundme.com. KFC apologized on the family's Facebook page and donated $30,000 for Victoria's treatment.
The CEO of the fund-raising webpage GoFundMe, Brad Damphousse, issued a statement Tuesday suspending the campaign and offering to refund donations.
"In lieu of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the 'Victoria's Victories' online fundraising effort, GoFundMe has temporarily suspended the campaign until the full truth is made clear," the statement said.
The Leader-Call newspaper in Laurel, Mississippi, broke the story casting doubt on the family's story, using unnamed sources.
After the family's claim became public, KFC conducted the two investigations.
"Neither revealed any evidence that the incident occurred and we consider the investigation closed," said the company's statement released Tuesday. "We are honoring our commitment to make a $30,000 donation to assist with Victoria's medical bills. We hope everyone keeps Victoria in their thoughts and prayers. She will certainly be in ours."
Good on KFC for keeping their commitment of 30 large,they need to make sure Mom doesn't use it to fund her Shoe collection.
The turn around is getting a lot faster.
