SHAH ALAM - Preschool teacher turned YouTube sensation Rachel Accurso, better known as Ms Rachel has gone to Instagram and mentioned the bullying she has faced since her announcement on raising funds for the children in Gaza, Sudan, Congo and Ukraine.
In an emotional video posted on her Instagram account, she tearfully revealed that she experienced severe bullying.
"But I can handle this; saying I do not care about all kids; it just hurts so bad. That is who I am, I love my neighbour, (and) I love every child.
"Imagining for one second what a mom is going through, unable to feed her child, or give her child clean water or keep her child safe.
"I can do this; I can do this,” she said in the video.
Ms Rachel posted the 30-second video today and checks on her posts revealed some of her Instagram posts have had their comment sections disabled.
Earlier this week, Ms Rachel announced her plans to raise funds for children in Gaza, Sudan, Congo and Ukraine.
"The idea is I will make videos for little ones and all the money raised on my end will go to Save the Children’s Emergency Fund which will go to children living in conflict such as Gaza, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Ukraine.
"Hopefully I can make little ones smile by giving them a personal video and then the money will go to help more children living in unimaginable circumstances.
"Children should never experience the horrors of war, these are grave violations of their human rights,” she said.
Ms Rachel also stressed the importance of ensuring children have healthy food, clean water, protection from violence and a safe place to live.
