[Jon45678@aol.com] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 14:39:42 -0500 From: Lainie Dulaney Subject: MM: sad news... Dear Friends: It is with a heavy heart that I write this to you. I must ask that you keep the contents of this email in the strictest of confidence where my children are concerned, as I have not told them what I am about to tell you, and don't want them to discover it until the time I choose to reveal it to them. First I ask for your fervent prayers for me and for my children. I know that God can work miracles even when we humans have no faith to believe for them. I have, over the last several months, been getting steadily sicker. I am now unable to work and am applying for disability. My vision in my left eye is almost gone; my hearing in my left ear as well. I have difficulty walking and fall frequently. I cannot grip anything with my left hand, and drop things often. I have seizures several times a week and am experiencing confusion and memory loss. All of this I assumed was due to my MS progressing. Sadly, this is not the case. This is very hard for me to tell you, as I haven't fully accepted it myself I have a brain tumor. I don't know yet if it is cancer, if it is operable or any of the details, but I do know that it is rapidly leaving me unable to function. I have a great doctor and have another MRI scheduled tomorrow... where we go from there I do not yet know. Added to that is the fact that I am unable to work, haven't had an income in over a month and am losing everything. Currently I am facing eviction, no heat in our home because I am unable to pay for propane, mounting medical bills (I have applied for Medicaid) and my phone has been shut off. I am afraid our water and electric is soon to follow. I have depleted the resources of the social services office here as well as all the other charity organizations (who paid my rent and utilities for January) and the only thing I am still getting is food stamps. As I mentioned earlier, I am applying for disability, but that is a long, drawn out process I have a dear guy friend who is working and helping all he can, but I have even tapped him out. He is very helpful to me around the house, and he is continuing to give all he can financially, but I am still falling farther and farther behind. I have also applied for Section 8 housing but that is a long process as well, with a waiting list over six months long. I need your prayers and any help you can send. I hate to do this, but I know no where else I can turn. The girls' father is over 6000 behind on child support and claims he has no money, so I am left to provide for them alone, and try as I may, I am not able to do that. Again, I ask that you do not share this with my children or anyone who might let it slip. I need time to prepare them for this, and want more concrete information before I tell them. Thank you all for your prayers and whatever else you can do to help. I love you all.

Although there are lots of scams like this floating around the internet, I think we need to establish if this one really IS a scam before dismissing it outright. Out of curiosity, I did a little digging and after cross-referencing various sources, it appears that there IS a woman named Lainie Dulaney living in Ridgway, CO, and that she IS a Patty Griffin fan. Other clues in her email also check out: a divorce and recent move to CO, two daughters, references to aid from local social service agencies and Christian faith. I should also mention that I checked the usual internet hoax verification websites and there is nothing posted about a "Lainie Dulaney brain tumor scam." Since Lainie Dulaney does apparently exist, it seems to me that either she is lying about her brain tumor -- or the story is real. JON BRYANT In a message dated 2/22/2009 11:43:16 A.M.
