A quick glance at her GoFundMe page shows the top doner is currently Kyrie Irving, an NBA player on the Dallas Mavericks. But Irving is not the only celebrity to donate to Ms. Josephine Wright, the grandmother to 40, great-grandmother to 50, and great-great-grandmother to 16 children. Snoop Dogg and Tyler Perry have also stepped up to the plate.
“I did it from the heart,” Snoop Dogg told CNN after giving $10,000. “She reminds me of my mother and grandmother.”
According to WSAV, the South Carolina woman, whose family has ties to the Civil War, says developers are trying to force her to sell her land by using harassment and what she calls a “frivolous lawsuit.”
“I’ve pretty much been a fighter all my life,” said Josephine Wright.
Bailey Point Investment Group brought the lawsuit against Josaphine Wright after their offer to buy the property was refused. Ms. Wright even demolished a shed the investment group said was on their land. But when demands were made to destroy her porch, Ms. Wright drew the line.
“It puzzled me at first,” she said, “but then it got me angry.”
In an Instagram post, Tyler Perry pledged his support. “I’ve pretty much been a fighter all my life” — he wrote, “Ms. Wright, please tell me where to show up and what you need to help you fight.”
“This house means it’s a home,” Josephine Wright said, “it’s a place where I want to be at this age.”
