KFC Corporation has offered a Mississippi family $30,000 after an employee asked their 3-year-old daughter with a scarred face to leave one of the fast-food chain’s restaurants, but the family is refusing to accept the donation.
Victoria Wicher was attacked by three pit bulls in April when she was at her grandfather’s home. During the attack, she lost her right eye and sustained several fractures to her face, according to USA Today.
In May, an employee allegedly asked Victoria and her grandmother to leave a restaurant because her face was frightening other customers. It is unclear whether the event was caught on KFC’s videos at the restaurant.
The family rejected KFC’s money recently, saying that they “didn't feel it was appropriate to accept it after everything KFC has done.”
"With everything that's happened, we just didn't feel right about accepting (KFC’s) money," said Bill Kellum, a Jackson attorney. "But we did tell them they were more than welcome to donate the money to the Frank Stile Foundation."
The Frank Stile Foundation is a non-profit organization run by Stile, a Las Vegas plastic surgeon who is set to perform surgery on Victoria. The website GoFundMe also plans to release donations adding up to more than $100,000 to the family soon to cover medical care costs.
