Hello everyone,

I'm raising money on behalf of Teresa Stallone, someone who gives an extraordinary amount of care, time, and advocacy to others, without pay and without pause.

Teresa recently underwent a medical procedure and is in the middle of recovery. During this time, she is also continuing her role as a full-time, unpaid caregiver to her mother. Teresa and her mom rely deeply on one another for daily support, stability, and navigating an ongoing cycle of medical tests, appointments, and recent hospitalizations. Their lives are closely intertwined, and when one of them is struggling, it affects them both.

Teresa is the person many turn to for help—offering care, emotional support, and advocacy not only for her mom, but for others in her community as well. She shows up for people consistently, even while managing her own health challenges. Right now, she needs that same care and support returned to her.

This fundraiser is meant to help cover essential needs while Teresa recovers and continues caregiving responsibilities, including:

Medical and insurance-related costs

Transportation to appointments

Basic living expenses

Limited respite and caregiving support

Teresa will be the direct beneficiary of this fundraiser. The goal is to help ease immediate financial pressure so she can focus on healing and continuing the care that so many depend on.

Any contribution will make a meaningful difference. Sharing this page is also a powerful way to help. Thank you for supporting Teresa and her mom during this difficult time, especially as the holidays approach.

With gratitude,

Cathleen O’Brien
