Aid Everett's Healing and Jillian's Family

My beautiful and dear friend, Jillian, and her family are facing an unimaginable crisis—one no parent should ever have to endure. Her 14-year-old son, Everett, suffered a devastating skating accident that required immediate brain surgery and an ICU stay. The fact that he is breathing on his own, let alone surviving such a traumatic injury, is nothing short of a miracle.

If you know Jillian, then you know she has likely touched your life in some way—whether she’s used her incredible talent to make you feel beautiful, been a fiercely loyal friend, or simply met you once and made you feel like you had known her forever. That’s who Jillian is—someone who radiates warmth, kindness, and generosity, always willing to go the extra mile for the people she loves, whether they’ve been in her life for 30 years or 30 minutes.

But being someone who constantly gives makes it even harder to ask for help. And with Jillian’s reluctant permission, I’m asking for her. As a small business owner in the beauty industry, Jillian doesn’t have the safety net of sick leave or PTO. Every missed appointment means lost income, and right now, her only priority is being by Everett’s side through what will be a long and difficult recovery. The financial burden of medical bills, combined with the day-to-day expenses of running a business she can’t currently work in, is overwhelming.

This is where we can step in. Any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation to help ease this enormous financial strain, a share of this fundraiser to reach more people, or prayers for Everett’s healing—will mean the world to Jillian and her family. She has spent her life lifting up others; now, it’s our turn to lift her up in this time of unimaginable need.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can give.
