Let me recap for you: It was for the family of a 3-year old girl who tragically drowned last summer. The family organized a go fund me to help with expenses etc. Thai Express then shared that link on their social sites and also stated they would put out a jar for donations, donate 5% of sales and the owner shared this personal Venmo and PayPal accounts for those who wanted to donate but “avoid the fees”. That was in May 2022. He never reached out to the family, either before or after, deciding to do all of this. They don’t know him personally. Here it is 6-7 months later and they still haven’t received a penny. But at one point they were like, hey what about that fundraiser where you said you were raising money for our deceased daughter. Crickets. So of course now they feel he took advantage of their situation to boost sales for his restaurant.

You can read his response in the comments. But it doesn’t add up to me. Something smells fishy.
