My name is Mandi and I am a dear friend of Jillian. She has no idea I am doing this for her but she is in desperate need of help.

Hi everyone, and thank you for taking a moment to read this.

This fundraiser is for my dear friend Jillian, a single mother of two amazing boys. Jillian is in recovery from addiction and is working incredibly hard every single day to rebuild her life and create a stable future for her children. She has stayed strong, committed, and hopeful—even on the days that are anything but easy.

Right now, Jillian is living with her mother while she gets back on her feet. She works three jobs, and still, it’s a struggle to make ends meet. Her boys have ADHD and require extra support and care, which she meets with patience, love, and resilience. But despite how hard she works, some of the financial burdens from her past are still following her.

Jillian currently has outstanding medical bills from a previous hospital stay related to her illness. On top of that, her car—her lifeline to work, her children’s appointments, and everyday necessities—is at risk because she’s behind on payments. She receives food stamps to help feed her family, but even with all of this, there just isn’t enough. She is doing everything right in her recovery, but the financial weight is heavy, and it’s making her journey so much harder than it needs to be.

This fundraiser is simply to give her some breathing room. To ease the pressure while she continues to work, heal, and raise her boys. Any amount, no matter how small, truly helps. Even sharing this page is a gift.

Jillian has fought so hard to get where she is. She deserves a chance to continue moving forward without fear of losing everything she’s worked to rebuild.

Thank you for supporting a mother, a daughter, a friend, and a woman who has not given up on herself—even when life hasn’t been easy.

With gratitude,

Everyone supporting Jillian
