TessaStrong: Road to Recovery

Donation protected
Monday, July 1st 2024 my twin sister Tessa came home from work to the unimaginable. Her husband, Zachary Mowel, stabbed her in back with a kitchen knife and repeatedly stabbed her 8 more times in the neck, chest, and back all while brutally beating her over 30 times in the face. He poured gasoline on her and set her on fire while watching her burn to death. He then set the house on fire and left her to die. This all happened with their 5 year old and 8 year old boys watching and pleading for their dad to not kill their mom. She is currently stable in the trauma unit. She has 9 stab wounds, all her Ribs are broken, collapsed lung, her entire right leg has severe 3rd degree burns,and she is also paralyzed from the waist down. Tessa is strong but she has a long road to recovery and therapy. Her boys are safe and are in the custody of me and Kyle until she gets better. She needs all the help she can get with her hospital bills and more. We are trying to figure out if insurance is helping with the damage of the house but since it is arson theres a big chance it will not. Her house is going to need to be restore for her to sell since she will have to build a home that is ada accessible for her. She also still owes on her car. We are trying to get all her debts paid off (besides mortgage) so it doesn't mess up her credit. She's going to be without a job for over a year or more until she recovers. Please if you can my entire family would appreciate any help. Tessa is the strongest person I know and her and her boys did not deserve this torture!
