Tragically, on January 11th we learned of the unexpected loss of Jessica Martinez, survived by her sister Pamela Arcand and two children, Pamela's niece and nephew. Pamela is self-employed and doesn't get paid leave. As friends to the family, we are raising funds as a safety net to help afford time away from work to grieve, cover funerary and memorial service costs, assist with upcoming legal fees, and finally any additional funds to help support the bereaved family through their time of extreme need.
