Once again it is claimed that a little girl will receive $1 for her treatment every time her picture is shared.

And there are still enough people who believe that. This time the picture is even going around in Croatian:

“Posalji sliku prijateljima i ova bolesna curica dobit ce 1 dolar za svoj lijek, zamolila me prijateljica da proijelim”

in German:

“Send this picture to your friends then this girl will get $1 for her medication, a friend asked me to share this”

Fact check

The picture shows 4-year-old Aninha from Brazil. With this image, residents of Curitiba and the surrounding area being asked to donate blood at the local hospital in 2017 in order to find suitable donors. In the same year, this picture circulated on social media. It claimed in Spanish that the girl pictured would receive $0.10 for each referral

The photo was not only shared on Facebook, but also spread rapidly via WhatsApp - this would probably make you suspicious, because the number of forwards and distributions of an image on WhatsApp cannot be recorded.

Conclusion:

No . In this case, too, Facebook or anyone else donates money when a particular image is shared. Not even when you comment “Amen” on or share it .
