Help Mom Recover Devastating Loss from Ponzi

Donation protected

Vicki is a 94-year-old widow who lives independently and is the most positive, generous person you’ll ever meet. She has always been there for anyone in need.

In 2020 she discovered that her entire life savings and her family's, including IRA’s were invested in what turned out to be a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme and is left with little to live out her remaining years. Amazingly, she finds a way to maintain a positive outlook on life but needs our help in being able to pay her rent and bills for the duration. She says she still plans to live to 102! Her unconquerable spirit has faith that she will somehow get through this yet we all know that "it takes a village" and in life we must sometimes rely on the generosity and kindness of others in order to "get through."

Everyone in her life, both friends and remaining family say that she has been the most positive influence in their lives. Let's be the village that helps Vicki live the life she so deserves by returning the love and generosity she has always shown others throughout her life. We are so grateful for anything you can contribute.
