Hi everyone,

I’m starting this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friend Jazzmine and her incredible mom, who are currently facing a medical and financial crisis that no one could’ve prepared for.

A few weeks ago, Jazzmine’s mom was hospitalized for a wound that wouldn’t heal. What started as a simple concern quickly escalated—her body began to shut down, and doctors discovered her kidney function had dropped below 10%. She is now dependent on dialysis five times a week and is working toward getting strong enough for a future kidney transplant.

In addition to dialysis, Jazzmine’s mom is in a rehabilitation center learning how to walk, stand, and move again. She lost most of her mobility and was in the hospital for over a month before being transferred to the rehab facility. It’s been an incredibly tough journey.

Unfortunately, because she had been employed at her job for less than a year, she doesn’t qualify for FMLA or medical leave benefits. That means Jazzmine is now the sole provider, trying to keep up with rent, utilities, groceries, and now medical-related expenses—all on her own.

We’re humbly asking for help to raise money to cover:
• Transportation to and from dialysis (which must be done by a medical van)
• Nursing home and rehabilitation costs
• Outstanding hospital bills

Jazzmine and her mom are incredibly strong, proud people, and asking for help is not easy for them. But any support—no matter how small—would make a world of difference right now. Whether you’re able to donate, share, or simply keep them in your thoughts, it all matters.

Thank you for reading, thank you for caring, and thank you for being part of their support system. ❤️
