‘Bringing Up Bates’: Bates Family Claps Back After Fan Asks About Donations

Lawson Bates raises money for child in need
On social media, Lawson has been asking for help to save a 10-year-old girl names Esther. She lives in the Philippines. The Bringing Up Bates star revealed that Esther is in need of a life-saving operation because she has a congenital heart defect.
So, Lawson set up a GoFundMe to raise money for this operation. When people use GoFundMe, they tend to get mixed responses. Most of the Bringing Up Bates fans who follow Lawson have responded well and have offered to help. He shared that the cost of the operation and recovery care in the United States is $164,000.
Many people have been sharing the posts Lawson has shared about Esther. Several members of the Duggar family have also shared the posts in their Instagram stories or on their social media pages. Because the family has so many followers on social media, they probably helped a lot.

The Bates Family Instagram account responded and said,
“As a matter of fact, each of us HAVE and CONTINUE to do so. We have bought plane tickets, medical tests, visa appointments, food, clothing, and continue to give regularly to our church and the gofundme. Lawson has put his work and music career on hold since November to help out. He practically empties his account every time he has an opportunity to help a child. He goes to sing at Children’s Hospitals regularly. He does free benefit concerts to help children with medical issues regularly. He has an absolute heart of gold and this mama is missing him like crazy…. so of course, I’ve given, and given, and won’t stop giving until Esther gets help! So in answer to your question, I’d say that Lawson is giving everything!!! Would you like to match his gift?”
