Terri Freyou

My name is Shelby McBride and I am creating this fundraiser to help my parents as they have come upon a very unexpected time. On December 21, my mom, Terri Freyou, was taken to the hospital for what we thought was a migraine. We quickly found out that she was having a hemorrhagic stroke and had to have emergency brain surgery on December 22. Throughout this past month, she has been faced with a lot of unknowns and fear, alongside miracles and grace. If you have not followed her story, please read more here: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/terrifreyou

With all of these things comes reality of unplanned fees, bills and expenses. I sit in a moment of peace feeling thankful for the community that has bestowed their love upon my parents during this time. They are so special to be loved by so many. I pray that as you read the story of my mom over this past month, that you see the goodness and grace of God through it all. Many have asked how they can help and this is a tangible way that they are needing support during this time.

Even with this daunting ask, my biggest ask is for your continued prayers. My mom has a huge journey ahead of her and lots of changes in what we all thought life would look like.

Again, our family can't thank you enough for your prayers, kind words, and support throughout all of this. We have sat in tears from the outpour of our community and how my parents and my mom have been shown such deep love during this time. Please continue to pray and keep up with the caring bridge as that is where we will post updates on my mom's journey.
