Sympathy From Strangers
It was a good thing that these internet people knew how the young girl must have felt. Although Christin was receiving comments that talked badly about Schaffen, some of the strangers started to address Kristin since they felt sympathy for her. Some complimented her, others suggested different things she could do with her hair and shared other heartwarming sentiments. She took comfort in their kindness. Kelsey could not understand how these people could possibly understand her better than her father did.
Making Up For It
When the story got too much attention online, Christin realized she could use the clout to make things easier for the family. Since there were so many individuals reading and then sharing it, she thought it would be a great idea to launch a fundraiser that will help pay for her daughter’s new hair treatment. She created an account on GoFundMe to put more attention on the situation and asked readers to donate money to help make things right for the birthday girl. At that time, they did not know if this would work.
