A Mother’s Fight for Time: Help Teresa Create Lasting Memories
Teresa Walling is a devoted mother whose strength and love have carried her through unimaginable challenges. Just over a year ago, Teresa received the news she had fought so hard for she was cancer-free. After enduring 7 rounds of chemotherapy, 13 weeks of daily radiation, and a mastectomy, she had finally reached the end of a grueling battle. Her family and friends rejoiced, believing the worst was behind her.
But everything changed on August 18, 2025.
Teresa began experiencing new and alarming symptoms. A PET scan revealed devastating news: the cancer had returned and it had spread to her other breast,
stomach, colon, kidneys, and skin. A biopsy confirmed Stage 4 Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, an aggressive and advanced form of breast cancer.
This time, there are no more treatment options. Teresa is now under palliative care and hospice support. Her time is limited.
In just a few weeks, Teresa has lost over 70 pounds, her vision in one eye is fading, and she’s in constant pain. Yet through it all, her heart remains focused on one thing: spending meaningful time with her children.
If you know Teresa, you know her favorite thing in the world has always been spending time with family and friends. She’s known for the unforgettable parties and events she’s hosted over the years filled with laughter, music, and love. Teresa has always been the heart of every gathering, bringing people together and creating joyful memories that still live on in the stories we share.
Now, we want to give her one last chance to do what she loves most: be surrounded by the people she loves, sharing smiles, hugs, and moments that matter.
We’re asking for your help to give Teresa a simple weekend with her children a weekend filled with warmth, laughter, and togetherness. We want to help her create memories her kids will carry with them forever. And we want to ensure she has the comfort and dignity she deserves in these final chapters.
This isn’t about giving up. It’s about honoring a mother’s love, her courage, and the time she has left.
Every donation, no matter how small, helps us give Teresa the gift of peace and presence with her children.
If you’re able to give, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
If you can’t, please share Teresa’s story. Your kindness means more than you’ll ever know.
With love and gratitude,
Teresa’s Family
