Jessica Taube's Road to Recovery Needs You

I have created this go fund me in order to help raise money for my beautiful 18 year old cousin's medical treatment costs. She was involved in a tragic incident 6/2/25. Jessica J. Taube was enjoying a bonfire with her boyfriend and friends when gasoline was thrown onto the fire in front of her. She was immediately driven to the emergency room and transferred to DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital's burn unit soon after. She has sustained severe 2nd and some 3rd degree burns on her face, hands, neck, and chest. She may lose her hair, and will likely need extensive surgical procedures in order to restore her skin and features. She can not use her hands yet, and one of her shoulders is not functioning well. Her throat has also endured some damage, but her voice is returning. She will be able to begin physical therapy soon after treatment.

As of today, Jessica's bandages are partially removed. She is able to get some words out, and I know she is just anxious to come home and feel like herself again! This is going to be a long and painful road of recovery, and she needs any and all support she can get. We are all praying and banding together to help as much as possible!

Jessica was working on finishing high school and receiving her diploma. She loves doing her makeup, hair, and was diligent in her skincare routine. She has always been a strong-willed girl, which has carried over into adulthood. She enjoys outdoor activities and will be coming home to her parents and two siblings as soon as they discharge her from the hospital.

Any and every donation will go to Jessica's treatment costs. She is unable to have real flowers, but she is allowed to have fake ones as well as stuffed animals and blankets. We appreciate everyone and their ongoing support through this time. Thank you.
