Help fulfill Jansen wish for his family
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mary Jane. I created this fund raising for a very special person-Janssen Fortes(may he Rest in Peace)
To start with, I met Janssen in the Philippines thru my sister. We got JM and Jenssen to teach cotillion dance for my eldest daughter 18th birthday. Most of the practice was with Janssen as JM is too busy with school activities. Little did I knew that during those time Janssen is already struggling for school needs and support. Just now that he passed away, we found out all the struggles he'd been through. Janssen Fortes is the 3rd among 6 children of Elisa and Freddie Fortes. I know for some of you, might have a question why I'm doing this now when Janssen join our creator on June 11 battling with hyperthyroidism and got more complications in his body while hospitalized. I know it's too late to fundraising for his Medical bills and funeral but it was never too late to help fulfill his dream to help his family especially his siblings that wanted to finished school because they believe that finishing University is the only way they can come out from poverty. Yes, they are really in debt of poverty. Janssen's father is seasonal or on call construction worker and his mom is housewife. My heart is screaming and crying because if I knew all of this before he was still alive maybe he's still survive his ill. I felt like I was stub in the heart when I read his post in Facebook showed to me by my sister saying " Pursuing my education without laptop, printer, full storage phone, and encoded activities tear me apart. Self, padayon lang(meaning just keep fighting). Jenssen is very quiet person, if you asked him he will always response he's ok but deep inside not. I wish I had given him enough. I felt guilty because I tried my best to help him even just a small when he was still in the hospital. Now my friends all over the world, I'm asking your helped to fulfill Janssens dream to help his family. Any amount can make a difference to somebody's life. His sibling Frederick working in chowking and Michelle is in Manila working(due to financial struggling the two weren't able to pursue their studies. Cedrick nis in 3rd year college, Mark Angelo Grade 11 and Sophia Grade 6. Janssen is supposed to graduate this July but he didn't make it, even up to his last breath he able to attend his pinning ceremony, take the final exams and present his Final Demo. He even asked help from his classmates for materials he needed for his presentation. My friends let's make a difference. Anything, any amount will helped his family.
The donations can help Jensen’s sibling buy a laptop to use for their school project and can help pay for their tuition fees anything they needed for school.
