Update- Met with my teacher union about this entire situation today and I retained legal counsel due to the harassments, false reports & libel. They are investigating it thoroughly & looking to obtain IP addresses. I’m hoping that someone will actually admit what they did before I continue to press charges.

What a ride it has been! We have made it through the original US leg of the tour, then through the LatAm and APac leg, then TTPD was added for the European leg of the tour and now we are approaching the final North American leg of the tour! 🫶🎶 We have loved this journey with you all and the community you have helped us build. 💖 What started as just two of us with a dream to make a safe space that is inclusive with a shared goal of helping one another find (relatively) affordable tickets that were legitimate and scammer-free has become much larger than anything we could have ever imagined in our Wildest Dreams. 🩵 We have been so lucky and fortunate to tackle so many causes together as a group and we figured we would start off this last leg of the tour (and the break) with another common group goal. and so it goes.… Not sure if you are aware but Marissa is a teacher! Marissa has known the family since Ellora was in kindergarten. She had her in school for two years! (K & 1st grade) Marissa has heard all about her Disney Trips 🏰 dance recitals 🩰, and how she was a big sister almost every day! During the summer right before 1st grade started (2023) Marissa got an email stating that Ellora would be starting school late as they just got news that she was diagnosed with stage 3 Wilms' Tumor and had to start treatment. She spent the school year doing treatment and oh was she so brave! She knew exactly what she was going through and was not afraid to teach anyone about it when they had questions! She continued dancing with her dance team and her funny and goofy personality did not change at all. Marissa and her bonded over their love from Taylor Swift 🪩 and Disney and Ellora loved tracing Marissa with chalk into weird shapes during recess and would laugh at her reaction. Ellora’s mom has been vocal throughout their entire journey. Documenting their year on Instagram and Facebook. Mom also now hosts blood drives sharing how important it is to donate blood and mom now helps a foundation called Glimmer of Hope, which is a non profit foundation that shows boys and girls strength by donation of bald dolls and provides hope to families with their resources they provide to help during this journey. Ellora is a huge Taylor Swift fan and wants to celebrate finding out she is cancer free at the show!!! 🎗️🧡 We are hoping to raise funds to help this warrior swiftie and her mama attend the Miami Eras Tour. 🎤🦋🐍💎 As I am sure a number of you are aware, Marissa and I helped put together a number of Suites for both Miami and NOLA. We spoke to the person helping us coordinate these suites and she is able to get some discounted seats to help this survivor and her mama attend the tour!but we need your help! We want to make this a weekend she would never forget. We are trying to send them to the tour FOR FREE. We are seeking donations (via Venmo or paypal to help cover the cost of their tickets). We have a goal of $4500 to help cover the cost of the tickets for them! Even if each person donates a dollar this will be more than enough to cover the cost of the tickets and give them extra to help with airfare/hotel. We are a group of over 6k members on fb 💕 If you are not able to donate, please share this post (Catie and Marissa) will both post on Twitter and ask you share these links and the story to help spread the word— we really appreciate all you do! Below is Marissa’s Venmo and PayPal (not g&s as marissa will be taxed for the donations that way) (or you can use the KoFi that is pinned to features on the main page) Venmo- @marissaturcotte PayPal - [email protected] Forever and always, @CatieRaissipour and Marissa 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤🩷🩶🤎💙🤍
