Help Our Friend Jeni & Her Son Start Fresh in California

If you know Jeni, you know she’s the kind of person who shows up for everyone else. She’s the friend who checks in when you’re down, the one who always finds a way to make you smile, and the heart of every room she walks into.

For years, Jeni poured her energy into helping others — running her fitness gyms in New York while building a successful career as a voice actor. When the pandemic hit, her gyms were forced to close like so many others, and she leaned more heavily on her voiceover work to stay afloat. But just as she was finding her rhythm again, the voiceover union strike brought that work to a halt too.

Around the same time, Jeni lost her beloved mom — one of the deepest heartbreaks of her life. It was a perfect storm of loss, both personal and professional, and yet she’s kept moving forward with grace and determination, doing everything she can to rebuild stability for herself and her son.

Now, Jeni and her son are making a fresh start in California — a place to heal, rebuild, and begin again. She’s found the courage to take this leap, but she could really use a little help to make the transition possible.

This GoFundMe will help cover:

    •    Travel costs — gas, tolls, and support for a family member driving them cross-country.

    •    Initial setup — deposits, essentials, and a safe new home base in California.

    •    Reliable transportation — essential for work and day-to-day life in their new community.

We’re raising funds to give Jeni and her son a solid foundation — a little breathing room to land on their feet and start fresh with hope and stability.

Even a small contribution — $10, $25, $50 — makes a real difference. Every bit helps show Jeni that she’s not alone and that the community she’s poured so much love into is here for her now.

If you can, please donate and share this page.

And if Jeni has ever touched your life, drop a note, a story, or a memory — your words mean more than you know.

Let’s help Jeni and her son start their next chapter surrounded by love, strength, and community — the same energy she’s given to so many of us.
