A family in Perth is currently going through a difficult time as they mourn the loss of their beloved son, Levi Tracy. The 19-year-old tragically passed away after a long battle with cancer. However, their grief has been compounded by heartless scammers who have taken advantage of their son's name and image for their own selfish gain.
It has only been four days since Levi's passing, and already these scammers have set up a fake Facebook page, pretending to raise money for a cause called "Lifeline for Levi". This name was originally used for a legitimate page that the family had set up to keep loved ones updated on Levi's condition. The scammers are now trying to replicate this page in order to deceive people into making online donations.
Levi's father, Mark Tracy, expressed his frustration and sadness at this situation, saying, "My father passed away on Monday, Levi passed away on Tuesday morning, and now we're trying to plan the funeral." He went on to explain that the scammers are personally reaching out to people and even using a fake PayPal account to collect money. This not only causes financial harm, but also damages the family's reputation and integrity.
Levi's story is one that has touched the hearts of many. He was first diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma at the young age of seven, but after two years of chemotherapy, he went into remission. Unfortunately, the same treatment that saved his life also caused him to develop acute myeloid leukemia ten years later. Despite his struggles, Levi always maintained a positive attitude and inspired others to do the same. Many people were moved by his journey and showed their support by donating blood, plasma, and even a kidney in his name.
His father described Levi as a caring and funny young man who had a contagious energy that lit up any room he entered. He said, "He cared for everybody, his humor - he was just bright everywhere he went." The outpouring of support from the community meant the world to the Tracy family and helped them get through the tough times.
Now, the family is facing another challenge as they try to find a venue for Levi's funeral service. Despite the added stress of dealing with scammers, the family is determined to honor Levi's memory and legacy. They want to make sure that his story continues to inspire others to donate blood and plasma, as this was a cause that was close to Levi's heart.
In the midst of their grief, the Tracy family is urging people to be cautious and not fall victim to these scammers. They are also grateful for the support they have received and hope that Levi's legacy will continue to live on through acts of kindness and generosity.
