Help Jen’s family cover medical expenses
Donation protected
Dear friends and family,
It is heartbreaking to even begin to write this message to you all about our dear Jen. Never in a million years did we think we would ever have to do this.
After a long battle with an autoimmune disease (Disconnective Tissue Disorder) and being recently diagnosed with stage four lung cancer — with no prior history of smoking — our dear Jen and her family need your support.
Jen started to experience painful chest pain in late September and was hospitalized in October and has been in the hospital since. A liquid was filling up her lungs, and this needed to be secreted for her to feel less pain. The doctors held her until they figured out why this was happening. In early December, Jen was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and began chemo treatment shortly after. She had her up and down days, but all days in good spirits. It seemed that the chemo started to work quickly. We were all feeling very positive. We were just on Twitch a little over a week ago, jamming to Marcos' DJ session!
The next day, Jen was rushed to the intensive care unit and put on a breathing machine due to an infection. She was stable for a couple of days, but recently took a turn for the worse.
Jen is currently still on the breathing machine as she is not able to breathe without it and often needs to be sedated as any spike in heart rate puts her at risk. Her doctors are still trying to figure out the best possible next step, but this means an extended stay in the hospital. We are asking for your help to assist her family cover medical expenses and any other miscellaneous costs due to this situation.
Please know that anything helps and we appreciate you taking the time to read this. Even if you aren't able to give, we ask that you share this in a way that you are comfortable with and if you are not able to do that, please, please pray for our girl.
Jen is a true fighter and we are praying that she pulls through!
As per the request of Jenifer's mother, Josefa Rodriguez, Jenifer's aunt, Felipa Colan, will be managing funds raised to cover funeral costs and medical bills.
Thank you for your support!
