@DaRealNette wants a birthday party and started a GoFundMe account to help finance it. I’ll let her explain why.
I’m just trying to have a good birthday for once…honestly. This isn’t some evil ploy to just receive donations I genuinely haven’t had a super amazing birthday since my moms death in 2003. Working two jobs and paying for school at the University of New Orleans out of pocket takes a major toll on finances during my birthday. Thanks in advance to any and everyone who donates.
Fair enough, unlike a lot of people I don’t really care why someone starts up a donation page, no one is forced to donate and if the person is lying, karma will handle it down the road. When Nette checked her page this morning there was a surprise.
We spoke to Heather Torregano — @DaRealNette on Twitter — and she tells TMZ Sports this all started when she tweeted a link to a GoFundMe account she started to try to raise some money for b-day plans.
“I work as a waitress and a bartender, plus I pay out of my pocket to go to school. I was just trying to have a good birthday, I haven’t had one in a long time.”
Torregano says … when she saw Johnson accounted for nearly HALF of her goal of $1,600 in one fell swoop, she was overcome with emotion.
“I cried, honestly. I was expecting people to give maybe like $20 or $50 … but a full $1,000? There is no way I could have expected that.”
Good deed from Ocho, but the question begs do we get invited to the party?
