YouTuber and educator Ms. Rachel says she donated the full amount sought through a fundraiser for a Filipino baby diagnosed with omphalocele. Her reply followed mother Daisilyn Mejia's appeal on Threads on Friday, 2 October 2026.

For context, Mejia had asked the children's content creator to share a fundraising page for her younger son, rather than requesting a donation directly. The campaign had a $5,000 (£3,780) target, according to Philippine reporting.
