Always verify - Kate Henshaw on donating to online medical fundraisers

Veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has advised the public to be cautious when donating to medical fundraisers online.

The actress made her stance known on X in response to a resurfaced tweet about a fraudulent medical fundraiser.

The post narrated how a woman, who had shared an emotional video seeking help for cancer treatment, suddenly became unresponsive after receiving donations.

The tweet read, “This is such a terrible thing to do. No one knows who sincerely needs help here. You remember the lady that we raised funds sometime ago that had cancer on the hand or so. She did a very sob video and everyone felt touched. We raised funds for her and people were sending in screenshots. I asked her how much had she received and she said I was disturbing her and stopped replying dms. I had to take down the tweet. It appeared that was a scam too. It’s such a terrible thing to do.”

This is such a terrible thing to do.
