My name is Terreca Cato, and I’ve dedicated my life to the field of psychology, working toward my Ph.D. in School Psychology. My passion is helping children and families, particularly those impacted by autism and developmental differences.

Today, I am facing an urgent legal battle that directly affects my ability to complete my doctorate and continue serving the community. To move forward, I must secure legal representation immediately.

I need to raise $20,000 for attorney’s fees, with $10,000 due right away to retain my lawyer and protect my place in the program. These funds will cover the cost of ensuring I receive a fair process and the chance to finish what I’ve worked so hard for.

This is a critical and time-sensitive need. Every contribution helps me get one step closer to continuing my journey and fulfilling my purpose of supporting children and families.

If you cannot give, I would be so grateful if you would share this fundraiser within your networks. Your support—in any form—means the world to me.

Goal: $20,000

Immediate Need: $10,000 within the next 24–48 hours
