WWE star Jacob Fatu’s situation with non-profit organization said to have been resolved
Earlier this week, a story resurfaced about Jacob Fatu being accused of ghosting and not paying back a non-profit organization prior to his debut with WWE. In an update, Jake’s Network of Hope issued the following statement to Fightful.com regarding the matter…
“In May, Jacob Fatu reached out with a heartfelt apology, initiating a meaningful dialogue that allowed us to work together with all parties involved to find solutions and fully resolve the matter. This event aimed to confront the challenging realities of poverty and the immense obstacles to overcoming it. While not everything unfolded perfectly, we are grateful for the awareness raised around diaper need and the substantial costs of providing essential products to families.
We especially want to thank NOW Wrestling for their incredible support. Their commitment to raising awareness, along with their generous donation of 50/50 raffle proceeds from recent events, has been invaluable in advancing our mission to end diaper need. We’re also deeply appreciative of the wrestling organizations and media outlets that helped spotlight this cause, underscoring the importance of addressing poverty and meeting basic needs.
As Jacob Fatu embarks on his WWE journey, we wish him every success and are inspired by the solidarity shown across the wrestling community in support of this critical mission.”
Jake's Network of Hope confirmed to @FightfulSelect that Jacob Fatu actually made a repayment on June 22, and that they'd missed seeing it.
