Renee Marie Gordon Memorial Fund
Donation protected
*****UPDATE******
On November 17,2021 Renee Marie Gordon earned her wings at 41 years old. She has been battling Stage 4 Rectal Cancer since June of 2020 when she was formally diagnosed. In October of 2021 she was hospitalized and ultimately had to be intubated for almost a week due to pneumonia. During this time our family came together to support her in her recovery and support her children. After they removed the tube she knew that she would be on oxygen for the remainder of her life due to the damage to her lungs from the cancer. She fought hard for another 2 weeks, but her soul was tired and God called her home.
We appreciate the overwhelming amount of support we have received from family and friends. She was truly loved and will be missed more than words can ever say.
Many people have asked what they can do to help support her children during this time especially with the holidays and other major life events coming up such as: Renee's oldest son Josiah will be starting college soon, middle son Matthias will be graduating high school and her only daughter Jada-Monet will be graduating from 8th grade in June 2022. Last year when Renee was initially diagnosed she created this GoFundMe page.
If you would like to donate all funds will go to supporting her children with rent, food, clothing, any additional needs that may come up for them over the next few months for the children, as well as her Memorial Service.
This would be a tremendous support for our mother Sharon who has taken on caring for the children and supporting them during this trying time. She is working tirelessly to make sure that the children are able to adjust to their "New Normal" and ensuring that they have an enjoyable holiday.
We Love You all and appreciate all those that have donated already. Please continue to share if anyone ask what they can do to help her children.

This is my family, well part of it. This is the first family picture we have taken in 9 years, and while it was great to be together, it was for the worst reason ever. That's me in the peach, just a week before I had been diagnosed with Rectal Cancer Stage 4. Talk about a 1-2 punch knockout. Was doing everything possible to be vigilant about my health and a Cancer demographic that is normally for a 60+ year old male hits you, it s definitely shocking as I just turned 40 and really thought I had alot of life left to live. The children in the picture are mine and my purpose. My youngest is my daughter and she is 12 and my weakest break down as a girl always needs her mother and life expectancy to give the best fight right now is 5 years, leaving her at 18 is still too soon to lose ones mother.
I
I was bless that when I was notified I had cancer my mother flew out and was here the next day, and the following day when it was announce it was stage 4 my sisters left their families to come and be with me and my children during this head spinning time. My family has sacrificed so much for me during this time and I know in this new journey I am on will as long as I am alive. I cannot control many of things, but this I will definitely try and help ease or resolve. My family had to fly in last minute and not all family members could come and it was expensive.
So I am creating this account, in hopes that the world community will assist in the support of my family in emergency flight funding. Seeing emergency flights, last minute flights and the number of family members this would ensure they are here and with financial worry free of one thin. I don't know given this COVID-19 era and my cancer treatment, we are doing everything to keep me safe during this journey of treatment. I want to be able to if and when the time is needed or come, to assist my family in coming together no matter the cost to be there in my most trying moment or my last. I don't want them to have to worry, struggle or carry the guilt that they could not be there because they could not afford it or to leave their family.
I hope to have my whole family around me in my last days, and hours. I can't control much, but I am trying to assist in what I can hopefully make happen with your help. Your assistance would ensure my sisters would have their support of their husbands and that I can see them and my nieces and nephew in my last times. So I would so appreciate your assistance in making this happen. I know there are numerous and worthy events and people in need during this time, I am hoping that I could be one of them.
On this journey my ability to provide as a single parent to three children in key times of their lives, one transitioning from high school to college who has mental health needs and my second son and athlete in his Junior year hoping to accomplish his goal of being an athlete at LSU, and my daughter, who is in the most important time of a young girls life turning into a teenager, a talented artist, and amazing with animals is capable of everything want to continue to support and remind her she is beautiful, amazing, smart, kind and capable of anything has been challenged, my mother uprooted her whole life to come and be my caretaker for an undisclosed time.
I am attempting to keep a roof over their heads, with all that entails, provide for them for school needs, athletic needs, medical needs, back to school needs (Clothes & Shoes) and at the same time deal with all my personal medical expenses as they come, medical equipment, medicine, transportation to all medical appointments, and vanity as I lose my hair and my skin deals with the effects of chemotherapy.
I can't control, what I have, I can't do anything but through my medical support team do as I am told and , I can’t control how this journey ends. But I can try to ensure that they are all here where I know where they would want to be and together when I leave and their lives change forever for them and be there for my children. So, please help and thank you so much for taking the time to read this and contribute anyway you can and if you want share my story. I know I am not the only one.
I apologize if some of this doesn't make sense; I am in the middle of chemo treatment.
