@fox4newsdallasfortworth: More than $745,000 has been returned to donors after GoFundMe removed a viral fundraiser for an elderly couple in The Colony. GoFundMe says the woman who organized the fundraiser claimed to be a neighbor named “Erin Howell.” The organizer’s real name is Amy Johnson. GoFundMe says that Johnson told the team she believed her parents' story would be more compelling if told from a stranger's point of view. Johnson maintains that all other parts of Don and Josephine’s story are true. FOX 4 @Lori Brown Fox 4 has reached out to Johnson and requested to see that documentation from the family, but we have not heard back from her.

The daughter could have done this honestly. My dad at 80 is still working and my mom has cancer please help them. If both things are true, then I do think people would help

I KNEW it! I said this was off. Elderly cancer patient has Medicare and qualifies for Hospice services. And everyone donating close to a million $ to ONE person is wrong.

They do need help but why not straight forward ask on go fund me as the daughter? They said the video was from a neighbor but then admitted she and her father staged the video of him. Should of been honest and not over exaggerated the story
