HELP JESS HEAL

Our dear friend and beloved massage therapist, Jess, recently experienced a life-altering accident that nearly left her paralyzed from the waist down. Jess, with her indomitable spirit and love for adventure!!, was vacationing with her family in Breckenridge when what was supposed to be a joyous and celebratory occasion (Maize's birthday!) took a turn.

While on an ATV outing, Jess had a serious accident. She broke both of her feet, her left wrist, gashed her knee, and most seriously, fractured her thoracic vertebrae. She now faces a long and arduous journey to recovery, which will span several months. As you can imagine, her condition has placed an immense emotional and financial burden on her and her family. Despite the strength and resilience we all know she has within her, Jess is facing this challenge with limited financial resources, and her insurance won't cover all the necessary treatments and expenses.

Jess's husband Ryan, their daughter Maize, and both sides of their family are standing by her side. And they need our help. Hence this fundraising effort. To her community, and to everyone whose lives Jess has touched with her warmth, love, generosity, and healing hands: if you are in a position to support her and her family during this incredibly tough time, every penny will help. No amount is too small. Your efforts will help cover medical expenses, physical therapy which I'm told will be extensive, and day-to-day costs as Jess works towards regaining her strength and independence and making a full recovery.

Together, maybe we can offer Jess and her family some relief that they need to overcome this. Let's show Jess that she is not alone in this fight and that her community stands with her, cheering her on every step of the way.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

PS - Kindly forgive me if I have errantly included anyone that I shouldn't have - I am copying and pasting from Jess's baby shower text string and other random lists - and, if you know of anyone I did not include, please please forward! xo
