The Times said Gomez, 4 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 65 pounds, told classmates at Horizon High School in Horizon City that she had had leukemia as a child and the disease had reappeared -- and that doctors in January 2011 gave her six months to live.
Classmates held fundraisers and Gomez got help in forming the Achieve the Dream Foundation, ostensibly to aid families of children with cancer, according to the report.
But six months later, Horizon City police received a complaint that Gomez did not appear to be ill, and an investigation turned up no sign that Gomez ever had cancer.Not only did she piss the money away, but she did damage to every charity that helps people who find themselves in that situation (you know, when it's not a lie). I cannot even imagine what a slap in the face this is to folks who have lost loved ones to cancer.
The good news is, she'll live long enough to pay for this in full.
