George Santos4Congress allegedly took $3K from GoFundMe raising money for service dog’s surgery
Navy veteran Richard Osthoff was living inside an abandoned chicken coop alongside Route 9 in Howell, New Jersey, in May 2016 when he discovered that his service dog Sapphire had developed a tumor in her stomach, according to Patch. After taking Sapphire to the vet, Osthoff learned the surgery to remove the tumor would cost $3,000.That’s when a veterinary technician told Osthoff there was someone who could help him get the treatment.
The technician referred Osthoff to someone named Anthony Devolder who ran a pet charity called Friends of Pets United. Instead, Santos allegedly told the veteran that he couldn’t schedule the procedure at the New Jersey office where Osthoff had previously taken his dog and that he would need to bring Sapphire to a clinic in Queens, New York.
Three months later, Osthoff texted Santos for an update, lamenting that he “[felt] like I was mined for my family and friends donations,” according to messages obtained by Patch. The two then had a phone conversation in which Santos told the veteran that the money would be used “for other dogs” because Osthoff “didn’t do things my way,” according to the outlet."Remember it is our credibility that got GoFundme [...] to contribute.
