This is sick.

sad.
Wow what a witch. I hope karma comes triple for her. What a useless waste of air. To treat your father like that... I hope theres something that can be done by senior or vet groups.Quote:

Newsforage.com? Any real sites covering this?
Something seems odd to me about this, I could be wrong. I do always think it's a good idea to start a little suspicious when there's fundraising going on.
Not on snopes. My suspicion, though, is that it's fake.
Nevermind. I see the story is on abc.com. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/91-ye...ry?id=19134306
The story is quite confusing overall. It's not clear as to why the lady wishes to evict her father. It could be to move him into an assisted living facility, where he might be better taken care of.Quote:

I had a tough time getting my parents to go into an ALF even though it was evident they needed help.
There are a lot of home care options for people to get care at home instead of having to go to a facility. She's been selling off his property by small chunks for a while, so it strikes me that her motive is probably nothing more than money.

Apparently they have raised the $125,000 for Grandpa to buy this house from the evil daughter.
If not for previous legal proceedings this would be a bit fishy.
I have my suspicions that this situation isn't all it's cracked up to be. Why would a 92 yr old have to buy the home outright? The home's not for sale so obviously the daughter doesn't need money right away. Seems to me he only needs enough money to rent it and he's raised more than enough for that. I sure wouldn't send money for something like this but it goes to show a lot of people do. If any more updates come out of this, please post it hereQuote:

Over 5,000 well-wishers are out of over 137 grand.
Maybe not a scam, but the ending isn't really fair.
No question, but this still sounds fishy to me. There's no guarantee that the daughter will sell the house to him for any price. Given his age, I wouldn't be surprised if the house is never bought back from the daughter and if it is it surely won't be put in his name. Seems to me this disfunctional family just made over $100G.Quote:
