<div>Help My Best Friend Catch Her Breath ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You may not know Jessica, but you probably know someone like her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The person who is always the first to help. The one who shows up without being asked. The one who somehow keeps giving, even when life isn’t giving much back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For nearly 17 years, Jessica has been that person for me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If there’s one thing I know about her, it’s this:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She would never ask for help herself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I’m asking for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jessica is one of the hardest-working people I know. She works full-time, then spends nearly every free hour driving for Spark because making sure her two kids have everything they need will always come before her own comfort.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the last few years, life has thrown more at her family than anyone should have to carry alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her longtime boyfriend and the father of her children suffered a workplace injury that turned into an ongoing legal battle, leaving Jessica as the family’s only source of income. They were then forced to rebuild their home after severe winter storm damage in Feb 2026, spending several months living in a hotel while trying to put their lives back together and rebuild their home on their own. Like so many families trying to survive one setback after another, the financial strain eventually caught up with them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, she’s facing high interest debt, wage garnishment, the cost of rebuilding her home from storm damage, and replacing a failed HVAC system. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jessica’s situation isn’t perfect but it’s real life. Through it all she has never given up or stopped trying and most admirably, she’s never once asked for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jessica gets up every day and keeps going. She works. She parents. She sacrifices. She refuses to quit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve watched her spend years putting everyone else first, and I believe she deserves the chance to stop living in survival mode and finally catch her breath.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If I had the money to solve this myself I would- without hesitation!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But I could start with the first $1,000 because I believe that sometimes the strongest people need someone else to show up for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hope is to raise enough to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*  Break the cycle of high-interest debt and wage garnishment that’s keeping her in survival mode.
</div>
<div>* Eliminate remaining debt that’s keeping her stuck.
</div>
<div>* Replace the family’s HVAC system and finish repairs on the home after the extreme storm damage in February 2026
</div>
<div>* Most importantly, give Jessica and her family the opportunity to breathe again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can donate $5 or simply share this fundraiser, you’re helping remind someone who has spent her life taking care of everyone else that she doesn’t have to carry this alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of Jessica’s village. ❤️
</div>
