Support Jen Triske After Ralph's Passing

Hi friends,

I’m reaching out on behalf of our dear friend Jen Triske, who recently endured a tremendous loss. Years ago, she met the love of her life, Ralph Abrahamson, and they embarked on a journey filled with companionship, resilience, and hope. Shortly after, Ralph was diagnosed with cancer. They faced it together, determined to overcome.

Sadly, Ralph's battle ended last week when he passed away from mesothelioma. He was a generous, kindhearted soul who gave without seeking recognition, and his absence leaves a profound void in Jen’s life.

Ralph had been unable to work for quite a while, due to his illnesses, and Jen took a lot of time off work as she devoted herself to his care. Now, she is grieving while trying to manage life’s mounting expenses—rent, utilities, transportation, phone & internet, health needs, groceries, and care for her beloved pets (Gus, Buddy Boo, Ariel, and Louie).

We all know Jen as someone who brightens our lives with her wit & humor. She’s fiercely independent, but no one should have to face these challenges alone. Her faith in Jesus, along with the unconditional love of her pets, is helping her hold on to hope. But let’s be honest—her four-legged companions aren’t exactly picking up job applications. Opposable thumbs would help, but even then, let’s not count on them. ;)

This is where we come in. Jen has been through so much, but we can lighten her load. If Ralph were here, I know he’d be the first to step up to help someone in need.

Let’s come together to support Jen as she navigates this difficult time. Any contribution (from $1 to $1,000) will make a difference. Not everyone will be able to offer financial help, but prayers are powerful too.

Thank you for helping her to know she’s not alone.
