Jessica "Jess Distress" Paikarovski

Jessica Paikarovski left this world Friday, Oct. 16. If you were lucky to meet her, she was unforgettable.  Jess was a tough girl. Although petite, she was one of the toughest girls I will ever know. She did what she wanted and wouldn't take no for an answer. She lived her short life to the fullest and traveled the world and experienced more then most people did in a lifetime. She loved music. She was funny. She loved photography and took awesome pictures. She loved performing at burlesque shows. Jess was truly a unique soul. A wild child and a force to be reckoned with.  She was talented and fun. She was the kind of person you'd want on your side in a fight. She could drink you under the table. She didn't care what anyone thought about her. She kicked serious ass. She loved her family and probably gave them a few heart attacks over the past 33 years because she lived her life without care.

Jess was my first best friend.  Our Babci's were good friends and introduced us when we were 4 years old. Her mom was like a 2nd mom to me and her sisters were like my sister because we were so close.  They have been going through such a difficult time and they were like a second family to me.  I'm setting this up to help them with the funeral costs and repatriation costs.  Jess was swept into the sea while away in the South American country of El Salvador.  I'm hoping we can help offset some of the cost to her family.
