Donation protected

Thank you for taking the time to read about our heartfelt fundraiser. With great sorrow, we lovingly share that we have lost our beloved Jean Pascal Mailly. Jean was a devoted husband to Erika Santiago and a beautifully graceful dancer, born in the Cote d' Ivoire, West Africa. Jean came to America in 2013, where he resided in Kingston NY. Jean received 6 months of chemotherapy for his stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Jean did amazingly well for the duration of the 6 months regime, never lost those beautiful dreadlocks, and remained strong. Sadly, at the end of his treatment, he tragically developed a serious lung condition which caused severe and ultimatley fatal damage. Jean passed away early Saturday morning, after a 3-week battle... Erika was with him until the end, he was 39 years old.

We now humbly ask for your help and generous support so that we can send our beloved Jean home to Cote d'Ivoire, where he can be laid to rest amongst his children and family.

Donations collected will be put towards the following expenses:

*Transporting Jean from Albany Med to the Funeral Home & preparation of his body
*Airfare to Abidjan
*Casket expenses
* Air tickets
*Funeral, transport and burial expenses in Cote d Ivoire.

This was an unexpected tragedy for our family, and every little donation helps. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for all your prayers, words of comfort and generous financial suppport at this time.
We humbly thank you!
Dieu Merci
Family of Jean Pascal Mailly
