Tipline Investigation: Hackers steal from Santa Maria cancer patient
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – NewsChannel 3 helped a Santa Maria woman fighting battles on two fronts: her health and hackers.
She tried handling it on her own but finally gave in and called the NewsChannel 3 Tipline for help.
In July 2018, Debbie McCoy was diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis came just one month after moving from Santa Barbara to Santa Maria.
“Now I have to go back and forth every day for five days a week to get my radiation for four to six weeks, something like that,” said McCoy as she spoke with NewsChannel 3 for the first time.
McCoy, who’s a nurse, said the medical bills and all that driving and tanks of gas took a toll on her budget.
“My social worker at the cancer center suggested I apply for this grant,” said McCoy.
A Pasadena nonprofit called Bloomagain gave McCoy ten $100 gift cards.
“Fortunately, all five gift cards from Ralphs worked. But only one of the five cards from Chevron worked, so I have four of them that are no good to me,” said McCoy with a disgusted look on her face.
