In support for the family of Jaydon Gibbs
Donation protected
There are no words to describe what a parent goes through when they experience the loss of a child. Jaydon Gibbs was born with a heart defect, but you would never know this by looking at him. He was THE happiest baby.
Even though as a baby, he struggled with simple motor functions whilst his twin brother was 100% healthy, Jaydon always had a smile for you and never let his condition slow him down.
At around 6 months old, he and the family flew to Edmonton for open heart surgery. Jaydon came out of it like a champ and grew into this wonderful, caring, joie de vivre young man.
Earlier this year, Jaydon wasn’t feeling well so Mom took him to cardiologist for tests. Doctors were concerned that the surgery he’d had as a baby wasn’t working as well anymore as he’d grown up. They suggested another open heart surgery in Edmonton. Family packed up and went to be with Jay during this scary time. In true Jaydon fashion he woke up with smiles and the family celebrated what they thought was a successful surgery.
Then on December 16, the Gibbs family’s lives changed forever. Without any warning, Jaydon died of a massive heart attack. He leaves behind his mom Shanna, step-dad Marty, twin brother Tyson, sisters Destiny, Tyanna & Sarah, brother Miguel, niece Brynlee, and his beloved Marie. He also leaves behind his father Tom & family.
We are looking for your support to assist Shanna's family during this devastating time. Funeral costs, time off from work, adds to the incredible hardship so anything we can do to eleviate some burden would be greatly appreciated.
