Written with love by friends and family of Teri Wallace

On January 11, 2025, our dear friend Teri Wallace, just 50 years old at the time, suffered a devastating and life-altering stroke. As a result, she was left with paralysis on her left side, peripheral vision loss on the same side, minor brain damage, and is now confined to a wheelchair.

Her journey toward healing has been full of challenges, and the road ahead remains incredibly tough.

This November, her devoted husband, Steve, will make the difficult decision to retire early at age 60 to become Teri’s full-time caregiver. Teri can no longer be left alone and now requires around-the-clock assistance for nearly every aspect of daily living. This change will have a significant emotional and financial impact on their lives.

We are reaching out to our community for support. Your donations will go directly toward:

• Installing a professionally built ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp in front of their home, so Teri can safely access their front yard and enjoy the outdoors again.

• Any additional funds raised will help cover the mounting medical bills and accessibility-related expenses.

If you’ve ever had the privilege of knowing Steve and Teri, you know they are the first to offer a helping hand and the last to ask for one. They have given so much to others over the years—now, it’s our turn to support them.

Please consider donating whatever you can. Every dollar helps and means more than you know. If you’re unable to give, please share this fundraiser with your friends and family.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love.
