Melania says so many people gave to her fake charity that she must “postpone” the event they paid for
The drama surrounding Melania Trump‘s fake charity event continues.Quick backstory: The ex-FLOTUS announced she would be hosting a high tea “benefit” in Naples, Florida for “Fostering the Future, a Be Best initiative,” which claims to award computer science scholarships to children aging out of the foster care system.
Tickets ranged from $3,000 to $50,000, though Melania didn’t specify exactly how much of that money would go to charity.Related: Melania calls reporters “dream killers” for exposing her fake charityBut shortly Melania’s announcement, The New York Times uncovered that neither “Fostering the Future” or “Be Best” were registered charities in the state of Florida, and according state law, organizations cannot solicit donation there without being registered.
This prompted an angry response from the ex-FLOTUS, who lashed out at reporters, accusing them of try to “cancel” her and destroy the “hopes and dreams of children”.Now, she says the whole event is being scrapped, er, postponed.
But it’s not because she was exposed for appearing to raise money for a fake charity. It’s because organizers of the event simply received so many donations that they could no longer follow through with the fundraiser.
