Help Vivian Save Her Mother's Home and Dignity

Help Save My Mother’s Home

My name is Vivian Ruvalcaba, and I’m fighting to stop my mother from being wrongfully evicted after she fell victim to a cruel romance scam.

In October 2024, while battling severe Bipolar 1 Disorder, my mom met a man online who claimed to love her. Over time, he manipulated her emotionally and financially, scamming her out of $81,000. When she couldn’t give him more, he groomed her into selling her home so she could send him $70,000 more.

Her home, with only $45K left on the mortgage, was sold far below market value to Seller’s New Day, who flipped it to Good Mood Studio, the current owner.

When I discovered the scam in February 2025, I immediately contacted everyone involved, provided my Power of Attorney, and submitted three medical letters from her doctors confirming my mother lacked the capacity to make these decisions.

Instead of compassion, Good Mood Studio offered to sell the home back but only if I paid $100K more than they paid, ignoring the facts of elder abuse and mental duress.

⏳ Time Is Running Out

We are suing the companies involved, but my mother is scheduled to be evicted on September 3, 2025, unless our attorney can stop the process.

How You Can Help

We’re raising funds to cover:

• Emergency legal fees
• Court filings and expert testimony
• Ongoing lawsuit expenses

Please donate, share, and pray as we fight for justice and to save my mother’s home.

Our story will air on August 26, 2025 at 6:30 am PST and 5 pm PST on ABC 7, to raise awareness about elder scams and financial exploitation.

From the bottom of my heart,

Vivian Ruvalcaba
