Trevor's aunt, Barbara Eyster, has been living with Multiple Sclerosis. She had been provided a live-in caregiver who was paid to help care for her in her day-to-day life. On November 16, 2016, Trevor received an email from Barbara stating she was being evicted and had 3 days to remove her property from her house. When Trevor arrived to help, he was shocked by the condition of both Barbara and her house. He immediately moved in to help with her care. The day after Thanksgiving, Trevor returned to his aunt's home during an argument between the caregiver and his aunt. Multiple 911 calls were made when the caregiver refused to leave. During one of the 911 calls, the caregiver falsely claimed he was being threatened with a loaded gun. When the police arrived Trevor was arrested. Trevor posted bail, and the charges were later dropped. Trevor realized he needed to get the truth out to raise awareness for not only his aunt's situation but elder and dependent abuse as a whole.
