Ms. Febbo states that she is trying to help women with skin cancer be able to go to Dr's appointments that they can not afford.  When money is sent to buy merchandise that is available on her website, one never sees the merchandise.

You are never sent an invoice, and then she simply "looses" contact with you after the payment is made to her paypal account.

Barefoot Sisterhood offers no merchandise

AUTHOR: Robin Edgell - McGuire AFB (United States of America)

If you go to the website, www.barefootsisterhood.com, there is no merchandise offered there for people to purchase. 

The Barefoot Sisterhood is simply a charity that helps women get skin biopsies by working with the patient's doctor DIRECTLY.  There is never any money paid out to any person that applies for the help from the Barefoot Sisterhood.  The Barefoot Sisterhood deals directly with the doctors and pays directly to the doctors. 

Elle Febbo has never, ever misrepresented the Barefoot Sisterhood and this falsified report is a personal attack by someone that has a bone to pick with Ms. Febbo and what she is try to do in this world.  It is also very irresponsible of this website to publish something like this without doing due diligence to make sure that it is correct.  It hurts the credibility of the person that filed the report and the credibility of this website.

Barefoot Sisterhood does not offer goods for sale

AUTHOR: Robin Edgell - McGuire AFB (United States of America)

We do not offer goods for sale. If anyone claims to have made a purchase that was never delivered, then they had to have purchased from a company or website which sells goods. The Barefoot Sisterhood serves to educate and offer basic financial assistance for scans and biopsies

There was a "Sister Store"

AUTHOR: EF_is_Fake - (United States of America)

I have been to the Barefoot Sisterhood site several times since it was started by Elle Febbo, whom I befriended on a social networking site for mothers.   There was at one point a part of the website called "The Sister Store"  in which people had donated arts and crafts or products to be purchased and the proceeds would go to the Foundation.   I remember very well discussing gift baskets,  bookmarks,  and note holders for the refrigerator made out of clothes pins that were for sale on the site. 
 
While there may not be anything for sale NOW there was at one point,  and the employees and founder are being very deceptive in the practice of denying those facts....

Here the previous poster "Robin"  (roolyn on Cafemom) discusses this on her blog on Cafemom and is asking for donations and such from people to help out with the "Sister Store"  I have a screen shot of this journal entry saved onto my computer but cannot figure out how to link it to this site.

If you go to the CafeMom website and search journals for the Barefoot Sisterhood Sister Store you will see multiple postings from The founder and from others who were trying to help out such a "good cause".
