Support Suede's Future After Jenny's Passing

Hi everyone—it's with disbelief and terrible sadness that I'm writing this. Jenny passed away Monday, Feb 10th.

Jenny was the warmest, most caring, loving mother I have ever seen, and the biggest champion of her incredible son, Suede (12). Suede will now be raised by Jenny's loving parents, Lori and John, who are retired and now navigating their path to giving Suede the best life they can. We want to ensure that Suede can continue doing what he loves—including riding with the Interscholastic Equestrian Association, a passion he and his mom shared.

These funds will help cover his riding expenses, education, and general well-being as he transitions into this new chapter. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in giving him stability and support during this difficult time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity—I know that Jenny is watching and her only priority is making sure Suede has the most fulfilling life possible.

Jennifer Daly was a very special friend to me. Words cannot explain how incredibly unfair this is. She earned so much good karma in this world.

This was written by Jen. She was the toughest fighter, she was so incredibly loved and will leave a void in all of our lives.

Cancer is definitely not something I had on my radar. It came crashing in as I was managing to do business as a realtor and happily homeschooling my son. Besides having the normal stress of work/life balance, I felt that I made health-centered living a priority. Our world has been turned upside down by this debilitating disease and I'm in need of help. When my son was a baby, he had fever spikes that led to seizures. The doctors were perplexed and only offered to give steroid drugs to his tiny body. I studied and became certified in homeopathic medicine and later a master herbalist. With a change in his diet and some supporting herbs and homeopathic remedies, he never had another episode. He's 10 now and has been raised holistically and is thriving. Thank God. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I hoped to follow the same naturopathic approach to healing. I worked so hard detoxifying—emotionally, spiritually, physically. I cut back on stress even though multiple weekly nutrient IVs and blood draws can be a stress of their own. I remained positive, I wanted to heal and inspire others on the journey. I did many alternative treatments and felt good. Then I got hit with Valley Fever (an airborne fungal/mold lung infection) and it took out my strength entirely. I went from 115 lbs to 90 lbs in a matter of 2 months. The medicine they gave me for that caused me blindness so I couldn't take it. From there my breathing was so affected, impossible to take a deep breath and rapid resting heartbeat, I went to the emergency hospital for the first time in my life. There, they took a CT scan and diagnosed me with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. The Valley Fever caused lung lesions and cancer had spread to my bones. Ouch. I am now enrolling in an immunotherapy treatment. A $10,000 per IV treatment done every 21 days. There is also the stem cell option and clinics that have consulted and accepted me that have amazing success rates, but they are cost-prohibitive at this point. I am reaching out to share my journey, and to humbly ask for your prayers and faithful contribution. I so look forward to posting about a full recovery. This is a lesson in life “happening to me” versus the usual “make it happen” philosophy. This season is a lesson in honoring help and how much people truly care. The painful suffering from the disease, especially since going into my bones, has been horrible but is nothing compared to the thought of leaving my son to grow up without his Mama. I'm an only parent, it has always been just Suede and I and I've treasured every moment. We are bonded beyond measure and my prayer every day is just to heal so I can get back to fully being here for him. He has been with me every step of the way and I am strong for him, I just wish he didn't have to be so strong for me. He has been blessed with that capacity.
