Help Jess get her feet back down on the ground

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out to ask for your support for my dear friend, Jessi, who is going through an incredibly difficult time after a life-changing diagnosis.

In October, Jessi experienced a serious fall. Since then, she’s been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) — a condition that causes her to frequently pass out and makes it unsafe for her to work. As a dedicated teacher's aide, she’s heartbroken to be away from the classroom, but doctors have made it clear: she won’t be able to return to work until next school year.

She has now exhausted all of her sick days and is without a paycheck, all while trying to manage rising medical bills and basic living expenses. Her condition has added a huge emotional and financial burden to an already overwhelming situation.

We’re hoping to raise 1,000 dollars to help cover her medical care, utilities, and daily essentials while she focuses on her health and recovery. Any donation — no matter the amount — would mean the world to her right now.

If you can’t contribute financially, please consider sharing this page. Your kindness and support can help bring Jessi a little peace and stability during this uncertain time.

Thank you so much for reading and caring.

With love and gratitude,

Sarah Durso
