Josie is a vibrant, loving mother, aunt, sister, daughter, and friend whose heart has always been her greatest gift, especially to her two sons, Jaxon (7) and Vincent, her firstborn and rock.

Over the past year, Josie faced serious heart issues following a major health scare. She fought her way back to her family once, surviving a cardiac arrest and coma last July, a miracle made possible by her unbreakable love for her children and family. But this week, her heart gave out again.

She returned to the ER not feeling well and went into cardiac arrest twice. Although doctors were able to restart her heart, she has remained sedated and unresponsive for days. Her lungs are no longer functioning properly, and doctors have told us we may only have a short amount of time left with her.

Now, Jaxon and Vincent are facing the heartbreaking reality of potentially losing their mom far too soon.

We are doing everything we can to prepare for the road ahead, emotionally, logistically, and financially. We are seeking support to help ease the transition for her sons and create a stable and loving environment for them as they face this incredibly painful new chapter.

If you are able to give, or even just share this page, your support means the world to us.

Your kindness will help provide comfort, care, and stability for Jaxon and Vincent, two boys who were, and always will be, Josie’s entire world.

With deep gratitude,

The family of Joselyn Rector
