Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

As another noted, the tone and writing is super abstracted... "a hospital" ...
I can't 100% DISPROVE this based on the fact there's no other documentation / mention of this act... anywhere. It's just all reblogs/posts of this exact text.
With all the other stuff she's done, how has NOT ONE SINGLE PARENT posted / talked about this?
My own daughter spent her first week of life in a local NICU here. That was 20+ years ago. I still remember the names of the 4 nurses that primarily dealt with her during that time.
If someone, ANYONE, had come forward to pay the 10's of thousands in costs I had to pay for this, I would STILL be shouting about it to this very day.
Again, I don't bring this up to detract from Dolly.... quite the opposite!!! She was AMAZING! But at the same time fabrications about her actions muddy and dilute the actual acts by blurring it.
Love Dolly, but people pushing for validity on the internet by making up stories to get likes is not the right way to honor her accomplishments and goodness.
If you still doubt, or want proof, then I ask you to provide any evidence this DID happen. I will happily cheer on evidence that she performed this kind of act.
No, that’s fair enough, I too have a grain of salt but i’m erring on the believe side. Neither of us knows. An anonymous post says X, that’s that.
