Support Jessica's Family in Their Time of Need

On behalf of Marilyn Carpenter Gullo:

Sitting here, watching my daughter struggle just to breathe, is absolutely heartbreaking. After 3½ years of chemotherapy, radiation, and a full laryngectomy, she is now losing her battle for life.

It is devastating to watch your child look at you with fear in her eyes—knowing she will never again be able to hold her children. Despite everything she has endured, the financial burden remains overwhelming. Hospital bills continue to pile up, regardless of whether she lives or dies.

Her husband, Jeremy, has been a pillar of strength. Jessica could not have chosen a better partner in life. He’s doing everything he can—working, caring for their 3-year-old, Landon, and their 12-year-old, Logan—while also helping care for Jessica when she’s home. She needs constant attention, and as a family, we are doing everything we can to support them.

As I begin to look into funeral arrangements, I’m shocked by the cost of even the most basic services.

It breaks my heart to ask for help, but we truly have no other option.

Please consider supporting this family during the most difficult time of their lives.
