Sadly, I too now believe Kori’s mother to be a grifter. The boy himself of course not at fault, his wish to be a YouTuber and his gratitude appears entirely genuine . JD gifted a PS5…then another 2 have been gifted for the mother and sister from a Wishlist that apparently Kori is managing..yet this child is terminally ill on oxygen etc…yet the list is continually being added to…gifts (mostly plastic tat toys) for every member of the family. Asking for more PS5s devalues the special present JD gave her son, he can’t appreciate it properly if the house is flooded with them. Gifts such as models for the father to paint, dolls for the mother etc…these people have a terminally ill child to care for…how do they have time/energy for that nonsense?
Although Kori is autistic…his reaction to JD wasn’t in line with all his other behaviours…although he has an interest in pirates…it may be an old interest and at age 11 he’s being kept in it…in order to ask for JD’s message from make a wish…he wears a pirate hat etc but he’s not talking about that…he’s into other YouTubers mainly. I think it was the mother who wanted the message from JD.
the video where they ask…not for people to buy tickets…but hope someone at a venue can help…for tickets…in the disabled area and with backstage access in hope to meet JD…seemed staged….asking Kori to name his favourite bands etc…does he really like Hollywood vampires? JD also sent him some signed photos…and seeing as he unboxes gifts regularly…he was underwhelmed in comparison to other gifts.
It seems odd to me as well that while her son is terminally ill and continually reporting on him being potentially near the end and then perking up, over and over again…she decides to have major building work done…2x studio building works and a garden makeover…a terminally ill child surely needs peace and quiet not drills and hammers?
then here is the clincher…on her own ‘the crap goth’ channel. She spoke of being scziaphenic (can’t spell!), can’t leave home without a carer and hardly ever can go out…she apparently has a carer visit her home every day (even though she has a husband unclear if he works, can care for 2 kids one of which is terminally ill, a dog which is her personally therapy dog…how does she walk it…and claims she used to live up a tree). Then…she is grifting for a holiday…apparently the family normally holiday twice a year at a goth festival…so she can’t go out without a carer, he’s autistic child can’t speak to strangers or be near a crowd (but spoke easily to other YouTubers Steph and Andy)…yet on holiday they can eat out and take part in all the music/festivities! The go fund me etc is set up, then about a week later she states the blindingly obvious that Kori is too unwell to travel…yet donations were made!
Pixie (don’t know what her real name is) comes across as genuine in her relationship with her son and clearly loves her son dearly…but there is also something very off about the donations side of things and what she is currently doing. Is it pure grifting/or is it a distraction to cope with not facing up properly to what is happening to her son? Either way, sending them more tat from Amazon isn’t helping their situation.
