Faces & Names: ‘Octomom’ seeking online donations for house payment

After a series of financial mishaps that ended with her Orange County, Calif., home being put on the auction block, it appears “Octomom” Nadya Suleman has turned to the Internet for her latest money-earning endeavor.

An account reportedly created by the mother of 14 on gofundme.com is soliciting donations for a down payment on a new home. The fundraising goal: $150,000.

“I am having to move out of my home soon and i’m very close to being able to buy a home for my kids,” reads the page, created on Saturday. “Your support is appreciated. Thank you again, Nadya Suleman.”

A call to a representative for Suleman seeking comment was not immediately returned.

As of Monday morning, 11 people had donated a total of $270. One person left a comment with her $5 donation.

“For the sake of her children, they need a home regardless of how you judge her. Most women do not and will not take on the responsibility but she has,” Felicia Payton wrote.

The 37-year-old Suleman drew national attention — and her “Octomom” moniker — when she gave birth to octuplets in 2009. In the years since, Suleman has made headlines because of her financial troubles.
