Hi everyone,

I’m starting this GoFundMe for my best friend, Jessica. Jess just lost her angel of a mother, Tina, after a 10-year battle with cancer. Tina wasn’t just Jess’s mom, she was her soulmate, her rock, her biggest supporter, and truly the strongest women I’ve ever known. She fought so hard with so much grace and strength for so many years.

What makes this even more tragic, is that Jess lost her dad, Paul, just three years ago to a heart attack. At only 24, Jess is left to navigate this life without either of her parents.

Jess truly has the purest soul. she’s the friend who shows up for everyone, even when she’s going through her own battles. Now, it’s her turn to be surrounded by the same love and support. This fundraiser is simply to help her catch her breath, stay on her feet, and have a little space to figure out what comes next.

No one should have to grieve this at any age. Any amount helps. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out, checked in, or just sent love to Jess. She has such an amazing support system, and I know Tina and Paul would be so proud to see how loved she is.

With love,

Kirsten
