Help Fred & Cheryl Rebuild Their Home After Crash

Hello, my name is Cheryl Spaulding. My husband (Fred) and I are raising funds to finalize the build of our new home after a reckless driver, driving with a probationary license, crashed into our home causing its demolition, and the ultimate rebuild of our home.

Imagine being jolted awake at 1 AM by a car engine revving inside your bedroom. My husband and I could have died that morning, but God was watching over us, and we survived what should have been a fatal crash when an 18-year-old, driving his mother's car crashed into our house on the south side of our bedroom wall while we slept.

That so-called 30-mile an hour impact of the car crashing into our home and knocking it off its foundation caused the Middle Township Official to deem our home unlivable and to be demolished.

I had lived in this home with my husband for 28 years and he had lived in this home before me for 11 years. My husband spent 39 years building up his home. Not to mention that a Spaulding descendant had lived in this home for 25 years before him. 64 years of Spaulding homeownership was threatened by a kid who fell asleep. No apology, no sobriety test, no immediate ticketing, no nothing was done for accountability of this horrific crash. He went on with his merry life and we suffer the rebuilding of our home. Our insurance company is still trying to file a claim from his mother's car insurance company. Thank God, our insurance company paid us for our loss, but it is not nearly enough to afford to build a home in Cape May County.

Therefore, we decided to build a modular home. We applied for a bank loan to complete the build of the modular home. The process is arduous to say the least. But we are going through it.

We Are Almost Home Again

May 23, 2025, marked a milestone that felt impossible for so long—contractors broke ground providing our new foundation. After 718 days of displacement, and the building of the foundation, we can finally see the light.
