Just found out she bought a 2015 Chrysler 200. Starting price is 21,600 in Chicago. I'm not sure how she raised that much though. The car was NOT donated to her.
The mother of slain Tyshawn Lee says it's simply not true. She said she did not use money donated to help pay for her son's funeral to buy a new car.
"Y'all don't know nothing about me," she said. "For y'all to be bashing me like that, and I just lost my child."
Lee is defending herself after heavy criticism on social media accusing her of using donated money from a GoFundMe page. While she admits to buying a car, she says she used her own money to make the down payment for the 2015 Chrysler 200.
Lee claims $13,000 remain in the account after she paid for some funeral expenses and GoFundMe took its percentage fee. Saturday, as she prepares to bury her son, she prays for justice and understanding.
