Support Jenny’s Journey Through Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer — Let’s Show Up for Someone Who’s Always Shown Up for Others

Our cousin Jenny is facing one of life’s most devastating challenges: at just 45 years old, she was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This heartbreaking news came just as she and her fiancé, Steve, were about to begin a beautiful new chapter together in North Carolina. Instead of settling into the life they’d been dreaming of, they’re now navigating a painful and uncertain path filled with treatments, hospital visits, and tough unknowns.

Jenny is not only a devoted mom to two incredible young adult children—who still deeply need her presence and wisdom—she’s also spent her life helping others. Before her diagnosis, Jenny worked at the Center of Excellence at a community health center in York, PA, where she played a vital role in creating a groundbreaking program that provided emotional support, recovery care, and medical stability for people struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. She helped treat anyone in need—regardless of their ability to pay or their citizenship status.

Jenny’s heart has always been in service. She’s given so much to others—now it’s time we give something back to her.

Since Jenny can no longer work due to her illness, she and Steve are now facing serious financial strain. This fundraiser will help cover:
• Basic living expenses while Jenny undergoes treatment
• Medical and travel-related costs
• A simple, beautiful wedding for Jenny and Steve to celebrate their love in the time they have
• Moments of comfort, joy, and dignity during a time filled with fear and pain

No one should have to worry about money while fighting for their life. Every donation helps ease the weight on Jenny and Steve’s shoulders and gives them more time to focus on what matters most—healing, love, and family.

If you can give, please do. If you can’t, we ask you to share this fundraiser or send your love and prayers their way. Jenny has stood for others her entire life. Now, let’s stand with her.

With deepest gratitude,
Rosie & all of Jenny’s family
