Recently, Doreen’s son, Jade Bacus shared the video footage of her mom’s condition. He expressed his disappointment due to the incident and gets frustrated after a scammer allegedly stole the P76, 000 cash donation for his mom’s medical treatment.
Jade narrated that the scammer pretended as a representative of a charity that wanted to help the hit-and-run victim.
“Lahat ng donasyon sa GCAsh po is na-scam po, napakabilis po kasi ng pangyayari. Ang galing po magsalita nung babae. Sabi niya po tutulong po siya, taga-charity daw po siya. Tsaka napanood daw niya po yung video ni mama kaya gusto daw nilang makatulong,” Jade said.
The SUV driver’s cousin regularly visits Doreen to check her condition.
