“Teresa has been loved by millions of family, friends, and followers.”

The fundraiser, created on Thursday, has so far raised more than $3,500 out of its $15,000 goal.

The 48-year-old earned recognition on TikTok through her cover of “What Was I Made For?” — the Oscar-nominated song by Billie Eilish, featured in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Teresa, likely had a different take on the calm and somber song, as she used to pronounce the part where Billie sang "All the enjoyment" in a way, it sounded more like "although enjoyment". Billie herself spoke about watching Teresa's video and enjoying the way she sang.

Queenzzielocthevoice's website bio says she wrote and sang all genres of music and she claimed herself to be a very creative individual. Teresa said she was born with the gift of singing at an early age. However, the TikTok star shared she had a lot of haters who were jealous of her and tried to taint her character by saying derogatory things about her. But Teresa added she held her head high and said she was unstoppable.
