Brandon Stanton, the owner of the page, started a campaign on GoFundMe in order to raise some money for Ms Johnson’s treatment. Till now the campaign has successfully managed to bring in over $2.5 million dollars in a week. This was done after the 32 posts shared by Humans of New York. 

The first post about Stephanie Johnson said,

“Stephanie’s health has taken a bad turn, and she’s in a really tough spot. So I’m going to tell her story right here, right now. It’s the most ambitious storytelling I’ve ever attempted on the blog. It will unfold over the course of 32 posts. But if there’s anyone who can hold an audience for an entire week—it’s Tanqueray. As her story is shared, we will be raising money to ensure that Stephanie can live the rest of her life in comfort and dignity. Stephanie has a lot of urgent needs, so her care will be expensive. But her story is priceless. If the series adds any value to your life over the next seven days, please consider making a contribution to our fundraiser through the link in bio. ‘Tattletales From Tanqueray’ will begin tomorrow.” 

The founder of Humans Of New York, Mr Stanton had also confessed that he had met Ms Johnson last year outside his gym. He also added that the dancer was approached by television and movie executives in the past year but Ms Johnson had made up her mind to go ahead with Mr Stanton to tell her story.  Initially, the story was supposed to be released in a podcast format but was then changed due to unforeseen reasons. Seeing the response from the fans shows how much the fans enjoy reading her story. Here are some posts shared by Humans Of New York Instagram page.
