Has anyone received anything from The Leelah Project?
We have found no evidence that even one person has received a package from Alexis Lee Miller, alias Alex Yrigoyen, since the Leelah Project was founded in January. According to the project’s most recent post, which claims that due to a lack of funding the project will be closed at the end of April, 120 packages were sent out. Shouldn’t there be at least one thank you note or picture of a package posted by the project or the receiver?
We noticed that the project claimed each package costs $82 shipped. The GoFundMe page for the project raised $15992. GoFundMe takes 7.9% of proceeds plus 30 cents per donation for all 699 donations so it’s $14518.93. They also raised money through PayPal, partnerships with businesses, other online fundraisers and local fundraisers in Miller’s hometown of Los Angeles. Even if the $14518.93 was the total they should have been able to send 177 packages not including any of the clothes and stuff they got donated to them. Sending 120 packages would cost $9840. According to the International Business Times’s write up on the project on February 12th there were already over 100 packages sent out by that date. Weren’t any packages sent out since?
We sent Miller a message 48 hours ago telling them to prove they sent out packages and people got them or we would expose their lies to the public. They then posted saying they were sending out prom dresses followed by the post saying the project is closing down. We believe that they never sent out any packages at all.
We hope we’re wrong. If anyone has proof that packages got to them or that the project is even a legally registered charity please send it to us.
