Help Terry Rebuild After an Unimaginable Loss

My name is Rachel, and I’m organizing this fundraiser for my mom, Terry.

Her partner of over 14 years allowed his daughters into their shared home while she was away, and she returned to find nearly all of her belongings had been thrown away. This included her medications, clothing, her beloved gardening tools (gardening has always been her passion), and irreplaceable family heirlooms—precious jewelry from her late mother, and childhood home videos. The value of the loss is well over $30,000, but the emotional toll is far greater.

Terry has been a stay-at-home partner who depended on his income. Now, for her own safety and peace of mind, she needs to move out. She has two sweet dogs, Gabi and Rosie, who are deeply emotionally supportive and a source of comfort during this traumatic time.

She is in need of financial assistance for moving expenses, storage unit costs, and basic living expenses while she searches for employment. Making this devastating situation even worse, my mom no longer feels safe in her own home. She is currently in the process of starting a lawsuit to seek justice for what happened—though no amount of money can replace what she’s lost.

If you’re able to donate anything at all, it would mean the world to us. Every contribution helps her take the next step toward safety and stability.
