Let's help Jasmine in a tough time.

We, Jasmine's closest friends, are creating a fundraiser to help our dear friend Jasmine Rodefer. Jasmine is a single mother of one and has been a self-employed business owner in Kingsport for 25 years, working as a manicurist and owning a second business specializing in airbrush face painting for kids. As many of you know, being self-employed has many upsides and some downsides, like not having employer-funded short-term disability options. Seven years ago, Jasmine was diagnosed with MS, which, as you can imagine, has taken a toll on her ability to work. More recently, Jasmine had a battle with Covid in 2020 and is now suffering from the long-term effects of the virus. This, in conjunction with her fight against Multiple Sclerosis, has left her exhausted and unable to work as she has in the past. Jasmine recently entered a Long Term Covid research project, and we are hopeful that they will be able to assist her with answers and healing. If you know Jasmine, you know that she would help anyone with anything; her heart is enormous. Lets's band together and allow Jasmine to get the rest she needs over the next several months as she works through the process of getting stronger and healthier. These funds will allow her to cover living expenses and out-of-pocket medical costs. Thanks in advance to all who can help.
