Sandy Hook Grifter Seeking Money For Cancer Treatment.

Video Transcript:

I'm in fighting for her life after her mother lost hers in the Sandy Hook massacre 11 years ago. Erica Laferte, the daughter of the elementary school's then principal is battling cancer. Lindsey Davis is here with her story. Good morning, Lindsey. Good morning, too. Rahman for the last 11 years, Erica Laferte has been fighting gun violence. And now she's also battling a rare cancer. The migmatters were, she says her insurance doesn't cover her treatment. And as of today, she says she doesn't have enough money to pay for it next month. I think about how much was stolen when she was taken from us. In the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, principal Dawn Hawksbrung is credited with sacrificing her life for her children. The principal of the school was running toward the shooter in order to protect her students. And today, her own child, Erica Laferte, she's now fighting to save her own life. Diagnosed with a cancer in the brain that sprang to her GI tract, the 38-year-old says she can no longer afford her potentially life-saving treatment. Kimo, that she says, could cost as much as $45,000 a month. Have the doctor said what would happen if you aren't able to continue affording this medication? They asked me if I wanted to have that conversation and I told them no. You don't want to know. The reality of her situation is a far cry from the $111.4 million she won last year in judgments against Alex Jones. Part of a $1.4 billion payout to Sandy Hook families for promoting lies about the massacre. Jones has since filed for bankruptcy and hasn't paid Laferte or any of the Sandy Hook families a single penny. The legal process takes time and that's time that Erica unfortunately doesn't have right now. Erica's attorney is now asking permission and court to seek a loan against the Alex Jones judgment. There are companies that make loans to people who have not yet been able to recover their verdicts. So it's not an ideal scenario, but it's one that she's exploring. My mom was killed at $47, and she was young, and fierce, and funny, and determined, I don't think that there should be two lives cut so short. I'm not done yet. We reached out to an attorney for Alex Jones. He said the bankruptcy case remains active. There's no ability to pick and choose among the creditors. The plaintiffs should press their claims through counsel and not the press as for Erica. She's been able to raise more than $165,000 on GoFundMe for her medical bills, but that money guys has just about run out. So hopefully hearing this will help her.
