Foundation Created for Children of Strangled Sleepy Hollow Mom

Friends, colleagues and neighbors wanting to help Theresa Gorski Howson's children have started a fund in her memory.

 

The funeral arrangements for Theresa Gorski were kept private, but a fund for her children is now being announced by those who want to help. 

Friends, colleagues, and neighbors have been deeply affected by Theresa's death and want to help in some way. With guidance from Pace University's Women's Justice Center, they have established a fund in Theresa's memory to help provide financial support for her two young daughters.

Jo Anne Gorski, Theresa’s sister, has taken in the children, reports a neighbor who has been in regular contact with her. There is not a great deal of family on Gorski's side, the neighbor said.

“The children are the innocents here and they need our support,” this neighbor said. “While nothing we can do can bring back the loss they are experiencing, this is one small way we can repair the world, our community, and our neighborhood.  This is a good community with families who care about one another; I know people will find it in themselves to share what they can to send support to the girls in this way. While these children will leave our community now out of necessity, they will not leave our hearts and prayers.”
