Hello my name is Jess, l am fundraising for my older sister Charisse Kurasz, who has fearlessly fought a long battle with cancer.

If you've had the honor of knowing Charisse, then how lucky are you. We could list the many things that so many love about her- to start: loving, kind, outspoken, a professional debater, funny, and a devoted mother, sister, aunt, daughter, niece, and friend to so many. Her lively spirit truly is contagious and her dedication to her faith is a true testament to her strength.

It is with great sadness to share that Charisse has entered her second, and sadly, last battle with cancer and has started hospice. As she starts her journey to join her adored sister in heaven, she has requested me to take a minute out of your day. Charisse has asked for some help-help comes in so many ways. Prayers, thoughts, and love are truly needed during this time, but she requested to seek help covering the financial needs and responsibilities.

So here I am, reaching out on my sisters behalf. Please consider any way to support my family through this terrible, unthinkable, and heartbreaking time.

Thank you for any consideration.
