Support Tori After The Tragic Loss Of Her Mother

My name is Amber, several months ago I met an extraordinary young lady named Tori. She just turned 17 a few weeks ago. During the few months that I’ve known Tori, I learned that she works multiple jobs to help her mom pay the bills, her dad passed away when she was just 9 years old. When she told me how she uses all the money she works so hard for, she was more than happy that it was going to help her mom. Tori has a light in her that you don’t see in most teenagers. Tori met my son in their EVIT program, where they attend a fire science program in the mornings then finish up their afternoon at the high school. Tori is a honor roll student and always smiling.

Tori has faced more loss in her 17 years than most do in a lifetime. As a baby, she lost her twin brother. At just 9 years old, her father passed away. And now, shortly after celebrating her 17th birthday, her world was turned upside down again—her mother tragically died in a car accident.

Tori is now in the care of her 19-year-old brother, who is doing everything he can to provide love, stability, and support during this incredibly difficult time. As he steps up to become her legal guardian, they are facing emotional and financial challenges that no young people should have to face alone.

We’re starting this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden—from basic living expenses, school needs, and grief support, to helping her brother build a stable foundation for their future together.

Every donation, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. And if you're not able to give, please consider sharing this campaign to help spread the word.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support for Tori and her brother as they navigate this heartbreaking journey.

This money will help Tori and her brother pay rent. Help them with food. Help keep Tori in school and Evit.

I also found out that Tori has a younger brother
