Hi, my name is Keely and I’m a close friend of Jesse and his mom.

On July 16, 2025, Jesse’s mom suffered a devastating fall. She broke her left femur, left humerus near the shoulder, and two ribs on her left side. Along with these injuries, she also suffers from osteoporosis, which means her recovery will be even harder and she will never fully regain the strength she once had.

Just one year ago, she underwent major heart surgery, which had already been life-changing. To now face this trauma on top of it all is overwhelming beyond words.

For many years—ever since the passing of Jesse’s father—it has been just the two of them against the world. Jesse works endlessly to provide for them both while also struggling with his own medical issues. He gives and gives until he has nothing left, and it’s about time that someone does something for them. We would love to suprise them with this gift once the goal is reached.

Unfortunately, the hospital discharged his mom far too early without a real care plan in place. She has been left in horrible pain, and Jesse has had to return to work part-time just to keep up with bills while trying to care for her at home. The weight of it all is crushing.

This fundraiser is to give Jesse and his mom a chance to breathe:

We live in a broken medical system that too often leaves families like theirs with no hope. But I believe we can show Jesse and his mom that they are not alone. Even the smallest donation makes a difference, and sharing their story helps more than you know.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you for giving this amazing little family a chance to heal.
