“It baffled me at first, but then it pissed me off,” Wright said of the lawsuit in a news report. “I guess they thought I would be so worried about the inconveniences I would say, but they don’t know me. I’m here to fight for what I have. I just want to keep my possessions and they leave on their own.”

According to the lawsuit, areas of Wright’s property are technically on Pelly Point land. Although she had already paid to move a shed, she has since been told that her porch, which is not easy to move, is also on property owned by the company.

A GoFundMe page was launched to provide the financial resources she will need to win her battle. To date, the fundraiser has raised over $145,000 in donations.
The GoFundMe page reads, “We hope to raise enough money to cover her attorney’s costs, cover any property taxes, and erect fencing to create a barrier between the grandmother’s property and the new development that recently paved a 22-foot driveway from her back porch. An area that was once acres of pristine woodland and swamp and the refuge for the diverse wildlife of Hilton Head.”
