I am trying to raise money to help my handicap Aunt with bills and to try save her house after her husband and primary care giver unexpectedly passed away. All funds will go for her needs to help pay the mortgage, medical bills and immediate repairs needed around the house.

On April 29, 2026, Dean Patrick Jordan unexpectedly passed away at Bethesda Hospital East in Boynton Beach, Florida. He was just 56 years old.

In an instant, Helen lost her husband of 30 years — her partner, her best friend, her teammate in life and in rescuing countless animals. And now, in the midst of unimaginable grief, she is facing another devastating reality:
She is at risk of losing her home.
Dean was the primary provider and her caregiver due to Helen getting very ill in 2024 and almost losing her life, she spent over 2 months in the hospital and is still recovering. His sudden and unexpected death has left Helen with immediate financial obligations and no time to prepare. Mortgage payments and household bills have created an urgent and overwhelming burden. Without swift support, she may not be able to remain in the home they built together — the very home that has sheltered so many rescued and fostered animals over the years. If she loses her home, she will have to rehome the rescued animals. She still currently has with most of them being older. It would be extremely hard on them and finding a new home will be very difficult.
Dean was a man who showed up for everyone, he dedicated his life to helping others. From volunteering in emergency management and serving as chief engineer for a specialized rescue and recovery unit, to owning his own towing business in NJ and later becoming a respected member of the Palm Beach County towing community, Dean worked tirelessly and gave generously and he proudly supported charitable efforts like “Towing for Tots” and never hesitated to lend a hand.
He was known for his comically true towing tales, his larger-than-life personality, his love for his family, his kid sized love of Lego, teasing the ones he loved and his enormous heart. But above all else, he was devoted to Helen.
Together, Dean and Helen built a life centered on compassion — rescuing stray animals, fostering the homeless and unwanted, and giving love freely to those who needed it most. Now Helen needs that same compassion in return.
We are asking for immediate financial support to help Helen:
* Cover upcoming mortgage payments
* Stabilize essential household expenses
* Replace and/or Repair their well pump so that the Helen can continue to have running water
* Prevent the loss of her home

This is not a long-term fundraising goal — this is an urgent effort to keep Helen housed and safe during the most vulnerable time of her life.
If Dean ever helped you, made you laugh, supported your business, rescued your vehicle, or simply brightened your day — this is a moment to honor him.
Please give what you can today. Every donation matters. If you cannot contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser widely could make all the difference.
Let’s come together for Helen the way Dean always came together for others
