What the fact-checkers found

Email, complete with photographs of a badly burned child, claims that 11 cents will be donated to the child’s family every time the message is sent to others

I never forward chain mails, but this one i cannot say keep it ot myself.

It is difficult to look at the picks…..its ok if you can’t…..but pls forward

I AM FORWARDING COS IT’S FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

if u scare easily or if your squeamish don’t see the pictures, just Forward to all the Persons in your address book and you would be helping out this little Girl To Get Better and start living a normal life!!!! You may not want to look at the pictures but please pass this Around To Help them. Our prayers will surely make a diff. For all what is worth. I do not know how they will get money, but At least our prayers will.

This photo attached is of a little child that has been severely burnt (literally from head to toe). His/her parents cannot afford to get the bandages and ointments necessary for the treatment so every time this email goes out they will be given 11 cents towards assisting these parents. I don’t know the full story because everything was Portuguese, but that doesn’t matter the only thing is this email must keep going around as much as possible. Thank you!

Note:

This message comes with 8 photographs of a severely burned child. Due to their particularly disturbing nature, these pictures have not been included.
