ISIS Hostage Family Says Obama Broke Pledge to Donate to Charity in Her Memory
Humanitarian aid worker Kayla Mueller was kidnapped by ISIS forces when she visited Syria in 2013. She was killed less than two years later. On March 13, 2015, U.S. President Barack Obama visited her parents in Phoenix, Arizona, and asked them what he could do for them. The parents said he could donate to a foundation they established in her memory. He promised to do that.
To date, the family says the President hasn’t followed through.
ABC’s 20/20 interviewed Carl Mueller and Marsha Mueller for a report that premieres Friday night.
“I’m still waiting for that donation, Mr. President,” Carl said.
The couple says it was supposed to be an anonymous gift, and reminisced about their meeting in the interview.
“He asked what he could do for you,” Marsha told Carl.
“He says, ‘You won’t know, it’ll be an anonymous donation but I will,’” Carl said.
The donation hasn’t come.
A White House official told ABC News that the promise did happen, and that Obama will follow through.

17 months after he promised, yet still no payment?...really odd.
Any who I just finished watching the ABC 20/20 special and it was heartbreaking.
She was an amazing young woman and fought so hard. It's so sad that Doctors Without Borders flat out refused to help and that the US government could not do more to help rescue her...
She went to provide aid not to visit archeological ruins or walk along the beach for god's sake
