Helping Jahsmyne's Family

Update 5/18/2021  Jahs is only 29 years old and she is now on hospice.  She is in constant, horrible pain and on an daily morphine.  She has a hospice nurse who comes daily.  They feel she has 1-3 months left with her family.  Jahs has always dreamed of seeing the ocean and taking her kids there.  If there is any way you can help that dream come true, please let us know.  She is too weak to drive in a car or fly.  We are hoping to find someone with a camper, that would let them borrow it for a week, so she can lie down.  If you are able to help with a camper or any money to rent a camper to help this last dream come true we would be so grateful.   Also money to help Josh with the enormous costs he will be facing as a single parent of 3 small and wonderful children.  We ask that you please pray for them, pray for the pain to ease, pray for time and pray this sweet family can have some good memories to hold onto in the time ahead.  I am doing this gofundme for them as they are in survival mode right now.  They asked me to thank everyone who has been praying and donating to them. 

Please share this with as many people as you can.

This gofundme is for Jahs who is my husband Bob's nephews wife and her family.  Jahsmyne first fought cancer at the young age of 11.  Her first bought with cancer she had Osteosarcoma in her left femur, which she was successfully treated for.  Jahsmyne and Josh had first met and liked each other prior to her having cancer the first time.  They then lost touch as Jahsmyne had to move away.  They were reconnected in 2010 and fell in love again. Then at the age of 23 she was diagnosed with  Renal Cell Carcinoma in her left kidney. She won that battle too and they had their beautiful little girl Maddison who is 6 years old and then in Dec of 2018 Josh and Jahsmyne were married.  They wanted to expand their family and had Benjamin in Dec of 2019 and were quite surprised to find out they got pregnant again with little Lukas and had him in Nov of 2020.  The boys are only 10 months apart.  They are now very busy parents to a 6 year old and two baby boys under that age of 13 months.  This is a picture from Jahsmyne and Josh's wedding 2 years ago.

Jahsmyne was not feeling well after giving birth to baby Lukas.  When she went in to get checked they found the cancer was back with a vengence.  She now has breast cancer and she has Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in her liver.  She is already at stage 4 and the diagnosis is terminal.  She also has several very painful tumors in her legs and spine.  This makes it hard for her to even walk.  At this point they are still fighting and Jahsmyne is currently getting radiation and chemo to try and slow the cancer down but there is no cure at this point.   She had to have cement in her spine a few weeks ago as she had fractured areas from the cancer.  Due to this she now can't even pick up her newborn baby.  She also has a lot of excruciating pain and has been in and out of the hospital several this month.  At this point what Jahsmyne needs is help and they need time.  Time to be with the kids, time as a family, time to not be stressed financially on top of the physical and emotional stress.
Jahsmyne, Josh and the kids live with her parents.  That allows them to have some financial help but Josh still needs to work fulltime.  They desperately need to get fulltime help with the kids and Jahsmyne but they cannot afford it.  They need
financial help for the days Josh has to take off, for medical bills, food, all the  100's of things that they need right now.  As a Mom myself I cannot imagine how hard this has to be for them.  Being a parent to a newborn and school age child is hard.  Add a toddler in to that and it is exhausting.  Then you add a terminal illness and the devastating effects of chemo.  Jahs is so weak right now she can't even pick up or care for her kids...including her newborn son.   Add to that Covid and how careful they have to be it is really just a nightmare.

Any financial help at this point would be so appreciated by this family.  No person deserves to go thru this, but to see a young, beautiful family just starting out, having this is heartbreaking.  Prayers, financial help and help with the kids or donations of diapers and formula are also welcome.  The babies wear Pampers size 3-4 and size 1.
