‘Mom’ who received $200K in eviction donations admits daughters are not hers
Dasha Kelly was profiled on CNN under the pretense that she and her three girls were facing imminent eviction.
A woman who sat for a revealing recent interview in which she claimed she and her children were facing imminent eviction if the national eviction moratorium was not extended has confessed that she is not actually the kids’ biological mother.
Dasha Kelly was profiled on CNN under the pretense that she and her three daughters — who are 5, 6, and 8 years old — were due to be evicted after she lost her job as a casino dealer in Las Vegas due to the pandemic.
She started a GoFundMe effort with the goal of raising $2,000 to pay her back rent. “My name is Kelly and I have 3 daughters in Nevada,” her plea read. “We were maintaining just before this pandemic hit. Now we are suffering … Please help with anything you can.”
After being interviewed on the major news network and others, including theGrio, Kelly raised over $230,000 in donations.
In her compelling CNN interview last week, Kelly told the camera crew from the network that they “freaked (her) out” when they knocked on her Las Vegas apartment door. “I’m not going to lie,” Kelly said, “because I’m really thinking [their ousters are] coming at any moment.”
Within hours, money began to flood into her fundraiser. “I just want to tell everybody thank you so much,” Kelly said to CNN’s Erin Burnett as she cried. “I’m still in denial.”
In an update Monday, CNN wrote on its website that they have since verified that Kelly “takes care of the children in her home for periods of time. She says she originally described herself to CNN as a mother because she considers herself to be like one to them.”
“CNN has learned the children are also cared for by their mother, Shadia Hilo, and their father, David Allison, who is Kelly’s boyfriend,” the site reads.
“GoFundMe tells CNN they are in close contact with Kelly and funds will stay on hold until they verify her information,” they added. “GoFundMe says no funds have been withdrawn.”
On Aug. 3, the same day of Kelly’s CNN talk with Burnett, the CDC issued a new eviction moratorium to temporarily halt evictions in counties where COVID-19 is spreading rapidly. Under the new order, renters are protected from eviction until Oct. 3, 2021.
As for Kelly and her “family,” the three girls are expected to return to their biological mother’s home for school.
“I take care of these girls in my home for periods of time, and have for the last couple years,” Kelly wrote in an update to her GoFundMe on Aug. 9. “I’ve loved these girls unconditionall y, and have been out of the kindness of my heart. I treat them as my daughters, and care for them in this way.”
She noted that those requesting refunds for their donations could have them fully refunded for a brief period, but the monies would be used to regain her financial footing and be saved in an account for the young girls.
As of early Thursday, the GoFundMe amount raised had shrank to less than $193,000.

Yes do beware and good info. However, I would like to also say our PH Gofundme especially the ones I am responsible for, I do want to emphasize it'll be w/ integrity. I still remembers my words to all of you and I plan to keep that because I'd like to keep a clear conscience and sleep well at night.

I'm sure most causes are good and true but there are also SHAMELESS selfish FRAUDs that don't care about others...
-
For example, if the welfare system is use like it was intended 100 years ago when it started, it's a good thing.
But when you have FRAUDs that purposely go underground to steal from the poor's resources, it's a bad thing..so DON'T BE THAT GUY!
-
It’s a shame but then some people are shameless like theking has mentioned. They will stand in soup lines and take from the truly needy then complain about these free food afterward. All these systems would help if use appropriately.

To me, GoFundMe is equivalent to begging on the street. Where are people's pride now-a-days?

Yep, doesn't matter if it's the welfare system, SSI, worker's comp insurance, unemployment, etc., it's the SHAMELESS selfish FRAUDs that ruin it for others.. :idiot2:
This is pretty much the attitude from SHAMELESS selfish FRAUDs with ZERO "compassion" for others :idiot2::

Can't count, can't add, don't even know the months of the year, has "reading comprehension" (per the neutral PH members) issues, ... :idiot2: ;D:
You choose the amount but it has to be above $200 and below $500 and I’ll match you. None of that $20 or $5 donations. Lets see if you’ll show up to this dance for this young Hmong brother up in Wisconsin. I have no relationship with this fund.

Compassion for liars is definitely not good at all.
