"Questions Arise Over Mary Lou Retton's Use of $459K in Donations"

Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton's daughters raised over $459,000 through crowdfunding to cover medical expenses due to Retton's hospitalization for a rare form of pneumonia and lack of health insurance. The family has been overwhelmed by the public's response but has not disclosed how the funds are being spent. Retton, who has had over 30 orthopedic surgeries, was unable to afford health insurance due to high costs related to pre-existing conditions. The family plans to donate any remaining funds to charity after medical bills are paid, but details about the expenditures or the charity have not been provided.
