She has screenshots showing someone posted on a Facebook page an image of Nevaeh Denine’s face, with text claiming her death was related to vaccines
The girl, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at an early age, was well known in Newfoundland and Labrador for starting a lemonade stand to raise money for children with cancer.“To say this has upset our family is an understatement,” the girl’s mother, Holly Denine, said in a text message Tuesday. “Nevaeh loved social media, interviews and talking about her lemonade stand.
Denine learned about the falsified image of her daughter late last week and urged friends and family to do all they could to eliminate it and prevent it from being shared on social media. Denine said her daughter used social media to raise thousands of dollars for sick children before her death last August, shortly after she turned nine.
Denine said vaccination can be essential, especially for children whose immune systems are weakened, and she’s angry her child was used to spread false information about vaccines.“Children who go into treatment are easy targets for people with their own agendas. And this happens far more often than people realize,” the mother said.
