PLEASE HELP US SUPPORT THIS AMAZING FAMILY!
Donation protected
Meet the Jones Family. Ross, Jerada, and Benjamin. We have known Jerada and Ross since we were teenagers. We are trying to raise funds for this amazing family due to severe health issues they have been experiencing over the past three years.
Three years ago, Jerada got stage 3 colorectal cancer. Even though it went into remission after surgery and months of chemo and then radiation, she has experienced numerous additional complications that required treatments from Dr. appts, and surgeries. On Friday, Oct. 13th, she will have another surgery which will be done to repair damage inside her body and to give her a permanent colostomy. She will be in the hospital for at least a week and then will have a slow recovery.
Two years ago, Benjamin, their autistic son, got stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He went through many months of chemo treatments and went into remission mid-last year.
Ross, in the meantime, was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. He is now on several medications. He was under so much stress from taking Jerada and Benjamin to so many appts, being a caregiver, etc. and has been struggling to fit work into his schedule too.
Two months ago, Benjamin's cancer returned. First, he received aggressive chemo. Now they are planning to put him in the hospital for a month to receive Stem Cell Transplant Therapy. It is a very aggressive approach, but they feel that it is the best plan of treatment for him.
All three of them have been doing everything they have the strength to handle, which is limited, to care for themselves and each other, but it is not enough. This has deeply impacted their lives, finances, and their ability to function.
Let's show them our support! This is a great family with a very giving nature. Any money donated will be used to help them with their medical and living expenses and any amount you're able to contribute is greatly appreciated. If you can't contribute money at this time, a share with your family and friends would mean the world to us as well. Thank you for your help and GOD BLESS YOU!
