My mom Jeanne has always been the heart of our family—kind, patient, and deeply committed to those she loves. She created a nurturing home for my brother and me, and stood by my dad’s side through every challenge, especially during his long battle with colon cancer. Even as she managed our home and supported us, my mom found time to volunteer at her church, enjoy coffee with friends, and take long walks that gave her moments of peace. Her selflessness and strength have shaped our family, and now she faces a new chapter without my dad by her side.

My dad worked in construction management for over twenty years, dedicating himself to providing for our family. It meant everything to him to know we were cared for, and he became the glue that bonded us together when my mom was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2017. Thankfully, her cancer went into remission a couple years later, but the unthinkable again struck my family early last year when my dad had to step down from work to tend to his battle with cancer. After his passing, my mom is left to navigate a difficult financial situation. With the loss of household income, her main challenge is securing her financial stability as she picks up the pieces from my dad's illness. While there are still some medical bills, the most urgent need is to ensure Jeanne can keep up with essential expenses so she can chart a new path forward for herself.

Your support will give Jeanne the breathing room she needs to pay the bills and cover her basic needs as she works to reclaim a stable life and financial situation. Every donation helps my mom take the next step toward rebuilding her life and finding peace after such a profound loss. Thank you for helping us honor my dad’s legacy by supporting the woman who meant the world to him.
