Terry was surprised at her who wanted to help poor people with her own money.
... for she wanted ...

Hi,
Does the first in the above sound right? Do I have to reword it as the second? Thanks.

Does the first in the above sound right? No, this kind of awkward construction is usually avoided.

Do I have to reword it as the second? I would. But I prefer 'Terry was surprised at her because she wanted to help poor people with her own money'.

Best wishes, Clive
