Burn Patient Email
Did you receive an email about a burned child in Poland?
Driscoll Children's Hospital has received inquiries from around the world regarding an email that is circulating the internet about a child who is a burn victim from Poland. A portion of the email is below:
Alexandra came out of a rigging fire alive, but now has to fight for her life and a normal future. She is 14 months old and she has burnt skin all over her body, damaged facial bones (as a result of very high temperature). She does not have half of her face. She is in a hospital in Cracow - Poland and one of the best specialists is looking after her. However she still has to go through many surgeries and then long rehab. Unfortunately her parents do not have any more money.
Therefore we are asking for your help. For each forwarded email her parents will get 3 cents. Please help them and forward this email to as many people as you can.
Our hospital would like to make it clear that these e-mails have no connection to Driscoll Children's Hospital. Our inquiries have established that this is an online scam. Driscoll Children's Hospital recommends that if you receive an e-mail purporting to be from the Driscoll Children's Hospital on behalf of burned baby Alexandra, that you do not respond to the e-mail in any way, and delete the e-mail.
