Natalia Grace Barnett Launches GoFundMe for Fresh Start After Controversial Adoption Case
Jan 15, 11:00 AM
Natalia Grace Barnett, widely recognized for her involvement in the controversial adoption case often likened to the movie "Orphan," has broken her silence after a gag order expired during legal proceedings. Natalia recently made her first public appearance in the Investigative Discovery docuseries “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks." Following this, she has taken to GoFundMe, seeking support for a fresh start in life.
The fundraiser, under the name "Natalyah Mans," was launched on GoFundMe with a goal of $20,000. As of the latest update, the fundraiser has received an overwhelming response, securing $12,128 towards its objective from donors across the United States. Many supporters have left comments of encouragement and solidarity alongside their donations.
Natalia Grace Barnett, known by the name Nataliah Mans, was originally adopted by the Barnett family of Indiana in 2010. Her adoption and background became the center of a highly publicized controversy when allegations emerged that she might not be the age initially claimed. A DNA test recently confirmed that Natalia was indeed a child when she was adopted, putting an end to the long-standing disputes.
The case gained substantial media attention as the Barnetts faced legal battles and accusations of abandonment. Charges against them, including abandonment, were eventually dismissed or resolved. Despite the legal developments, Natalia found herself in the spotlight of pop culture, leading to her recent public statements.
In the GoFundMe campaign, Natalia shares her aspirations for the future, including plans to establish her own photography business. She expressed her desire to move forward as an adult and overcome the challenges in her life. Additionally, Natalia revealed that she has Diastrophic Dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism that requires extensive spinal and leg surgeries to prevent paralysis and incontinence.
The medical procedures essential for her well-being come with a significant financial burden, estimated to exceed $500,000, and are not covered by insurance. Natalia's GoFundMe seeks to alleviate some of this financial strain. The campaign's summary states that achieving the initial goal will allow her to secure a deposit for her own place and initiate her photography business, providing a source of income to save for the costly treatments.
Since the launch of the fundraiser, Natalia has received 283 donations and 27 words of support. Messages from supporters have conveyed empathy and encouragement, acknowledging the hardships she has faced and expressing hope for her future.
While it remains unconfirmed, online fans have speculated that Natalia may make an appearance in a potential third installment of the "Curious Case of Natalia Grace" series, considering the unresolved nature of the story in the previous season.
As the fundraiser continues to gain traction, Natalia Grace Barnett is receiving significant support from well-wishers who hope to see her embark on a new chapter in her life, overcoming past challenges and fulfilling her aspirations.
