Children with cancer scammed out of millions fundraised for their treatment, BBC finds
Children with cancer have been scammed out of millions in fundraised money for their treatment, BBC investigations reveal. Online campaigns, like those by Chance Letikva, have raised substantial amounts claiming to fund life-saving treatments but families received little to none of the collected funds. Families across different countries, like Colombia and Ukraine, were exploited for fundraising purposes, raising questions about where the money raised for these children has gone.
