<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Community,We are reaching out with a heavy heart but a determined spirit. Recently, our sister Jessica was diagnosed with carcinoma cancer. At just 42 years old, she is facing the biggest fight of her life.Like so many busy women, it started with what she thought was just standard aches and pains in her back from getting older. She pushed through it, but doctors have now confirmed it is carcinoma. We are still in the early, overwhelming stages of trying to pinpoint exactly where the cancer started, though it is assumed to be an organ. While there are currently several areas of concern on her scans, we are a family built on strength, and we are fully prepared to kick cancer’s ass together.If you know Jess, you know she is the absolute heartbeat of our family. She wears so many vital hats every single day—she is a devoted mother to her grown children, a loving wife to her husband Shawn, a cherished daughter, granddaughter, and the absolute best aunt to her nieces and nephews. More than just my sibling, she is my absolute best friend and the person I look up to most in this world. Even with her children grown, she remains the core anchor of her household, and we all need her here.Why We Need Your Help To beat this, Jess will need to undergo extensive medical treatments. This journey requires frequent travel to medical centers for specialist care, which will quickly accumulate heavy travel, gas, lodging, and food costs.Because of the physical toll of treatment, Jessica will need full-time support. Shawn will be stepping in to manage the household and care for her, making him the sole income earner for their family during this time.Our family is no stranger to this battle. Shawn fiercely battled cancer just last year. They quietly struggled through his treatments, keeping their heads down and never asking for a single piece of help from anyone. They carried that entire weight alone. But lightning has struck twice, and this time, they cannot do it by themselves. I am stepping in because I really need our community to rally together right now. We need to take a small portion of this massive weight off her shoulders so she can focus entirely on fighting.The financial stress of losing a substantial portion of their household income—combined with skyrocketing travel and living expenses—is a burden no family should have to carry while fighting cancer twice in two years.How You Can Support Us:Donate via GoFundMe: Click the 'Donate Now' button on this page to contribute directly to their monthly bills and travel costs.Donate Gift Cards: Gift cards for gas, groceries, restaurants, and daily necessities are incredibly helpful.Pet Care Support: They have 2 dogs and 2 cats who are a massive comfort to Jess right now. Gift cards to PetSmart are deeply appreciated to help feed, care for, and maintain supplies for their pets while income is limited.Mail a Check: If you prefer to donate offline via check, they can be made out and mailed directly to either me or Jessica.Mailing Address for Checks &amp; Gift Cards:PO Box 131Glen, NH 03838Our goal is simple: we want Jess to focus 100% of her energy on healing, and we want Shawn and her kids to be able to focus on being there for her without the crushing weight of financial panic.If you are unable to donate, you can still make a massive difference by sharing this page on Facebook, Instagram, email, or text, and by keeping Jess, Shawn, and our family in your thoughts.From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing by her side, wrapping this family in love, and helping us carry this weight.With deep gratitude, Heather / The Pandora Family
