*update 06.28.25: yesterday, Jessica earned her wings…thank you so much for your support so far and for your continued support going forward
Our family is facing an unimaginable challenge. My beloved niece, Jessica, is currently under hospice care after a courageous battle with illness. As we prepare to say goodbye, we humbly ask for your support to give her the dignified farewell she deserves and to help secure her children’s future.
Jessica’s Story:
Jessica has endured quite a bit of hardship in her short life. At just three months old, she lost her father in a tragic car accident, leaving her mother to raise her alone. Despite life’s challenges, Jessica grew into a loving mother to two amazing children (16 and 21), who now face losing their mom far too soon. Her own mother, Yolanda, has devoted herself to Jessica’s care, leaving her unable to work, resulting in their immediate family being stretched emotionally and financially to the brink.
Why We Need Your Help:
- Funeral Expenses: We want to honor Jessica with a proper burial, a final act of love to celebrate her life and provide closure for her family.
- Supporting Her Children: Any remaining funds will go directly to an account for her teenagers—ensuring stability for her 16-year-old still in school and her 21-year-old navigating early adulthood.
- A Mother’s Sacrifice: Jessica’s mom has exhausted her savings while caring for her daughter and her two grandsons full-time, leaving no safety net for these unexpected costs.
How You Can Help:
Yolanda and her family has also had to lay two of her own sisters to rest in the last 6 months on top of caring for Jessica and her two grandsons, we’re doing our best but unfortunately we cannot do this alone. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign or offering a prayer for our family would mean the world.
Our Promise:
Every dollar raised will go directly to funeral costs and the remaining to an account to help Yolanda with her two grandsons, Jessica’s children. We will provide updates to ensure transparency and gratitude for your generosity.
Thank You:
In this time of heartbreak, your kindness reminds us that we’re not alone. Jessica’s strength and love live on in her children, and your support will help carry her legacy forward.
Humbly with gratitude,
Jessica’s extended family
