Hi, my name is Stephanie, and it breaks my heart to even have to create this fundraiser. As many now know, Victoria's sweet, kind, amazing knight in shining armor left this world on June 19, 2022. This has been a huge lost to every single person who has known Jordan. Looking at all the posts everyone is creating explaining who Jordan was, every single one describes him perfectly. Jordan was the light in every room he walked into, he was always cracking jokes, making people laugh, and ensuring that everyone felt good about themselves. His laugh and smile were infectious. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and Victoria's biggest support system.

 

As most know, Vee lost her Ma in 2020, her Pa in 2021, and now Jordy. For the last two years she dealt with huge losses and Jordan was always by her side, but now that huge lost is the one person that has always grounded her and kept her feeling loved. Her and Jordy were always there for each other, even when times were hard. Regardless of how hard they were, he always made sure Vee felt love and supported. They were each other’s home no matter where they were, and the last several years they have lived together with her waking up every day with a kiss from him - that she will never receive again.

 

With that being said though, this fundraiser is for Victoria Ciesielski. Her and Jordan not only physically did everything together, but they financial did everything together as well. This fundraiser is to ensure that while Vee goes through this huge loss, she does not have to worry an ounce about finances. The hope is that the money raised can be used to offset the financial anxiety that will come weighing down on Victoria over the next few months navigating a life without Jordan.

 

Prior to bringing this up, Vee advised she can manage on her own but anyone that knows Vee also knows she will never willingly ask for help – even if you say, let me know what I can do. She only asks for love and emotional support. However, when this GoFundMe was brought up, I could hear the relief in her voice while she said yes that would be helpful, with tears forming. The support alone she has felt has been amazing to her and she is extremely appreciative of every single person that has reached out to give their condolences. I hope we can assist with some financial support as well. She loves Jordan so much and she knows he is at peace, but that does not change the difficulty of this.

 

Jordan’s funeral information is below for anyone wanting to come. Jordan has the absolute best loving family and all funeral arrangements have been made. They truly are the most wonderful humans, treating Vee as family and including her in every single beautiful detail that they are doing to honor their boy.
