Our dear friend and colleague, Jessica Bucci, needs our community now more than ever.

Jessica is a beloved piano teacher at The Music Note and the Director of Music Ministry at St. John Neumann Church in Franklin Park. She is a cornerstone of both communities—someone who gives endlessly through her music, her faith, and her care for the people around her. Jessica and her husband are joyfully expecting their third child this coming Easter season.

This week, Jessica was unexpectedly hospitalized with a ruptured uterus, a life-threatening complication. She is receiving critical medical care, and the days ahead remain uncertain. As she fights for her health and the well-being of her baby, her family is facing significant emotional and financial strain.

We are asking for your support—any amount helps. All donations go directly to the Bucci family to assist with medical expenses, lost income, childcare needs, and the many unforeseen costs that come during a crisis like this.

If you prefer to help in another way, we have also set up a Meal Train to provide meals for the family during this incredibly difficult time.

Jessica has given so much to her students, parish, and community. Now, we have the chance to give back to her.

Thank you for your prayers, generosity, and kindness.
