Hi, my name is Chris Thompson, and I'm raising funds for legal bills, to pay to get the house I've been living in for the last 31 1/2 years, put into my sister Linda and I's names. The process has already been put into motion. But because I've been the primary caretaker for first my mother for the last 21 years of her life (she had a stroke in 1996 and passed in 2017), and then for my sister Terry for the last 12 years of hers, who had an aneurysm in 99, followed by brain tumor in 2013, which led to her lungs failing, causing her to develop double pneumonia in 2014 and scar tissue in her lungs. Which brought about COPD which she was never properly diagnosed with, which claimed her life in June of 2025. Unfortunately she was caught up in a struggle to keep her disability check and her breathing machine, over the course of 2 1/2 years, which depleted most of the money we'd carefully saved up over the years. While she kept her disability, that was in early 2025. So the years of non-stop stress and turmoil took its toll on her already deteriorating health. Therefore we weren't able to replenish hardly any of which was lost by the time she died. It also led to her neglecting her health, not realizing the full extent of what was wrong with her. Because she was a lifelong asthma sufferer anyway, so her breathing was always compromised. So she thought she had much longer than she did. Since we were distracted with the other legal issues, she never set in motion a will and she incorrectly assumed that the house would automatically go to me. In March she fell ill with pneumonia, slipped into a brief coma, came out of it, fought valiantly, but she was intubated with a feeding tube, and her body eventually failed her. Leaving very little in the bank to take care of her cremation, which Linda paid for. So in the ensuing months, fretting the lack of funds, it's robbed us of the grieving process. Because we're so concerned about coming up with the money needed to pay the legal fees to pay for the house going into our names. Something that Terry thought would be simple, into a hectic costly struggle. She'd have been appalled by this whole process had she known, and done everything in her power to prevent it. So I'm trying to raise around $2,500 dollars to cover the costs of the legal fees. Anything you can give would be beneficial. The picture above is of Terry and I, back in 2019.
