For many years, Jacqueline, a loving single mother to her son Ethan has quietly given her heart to others. Through Namastables, she has created a place of care, refuge, and connection with nature for both animals and people. She has opened her land to animals with nowhere else to go and has even been part of rescue efforts during devastating floods in the United States. Her life’s work has always been rooted in compassion.

Now, Jacqueline is facing an unexpected and life-altering challenge.

She has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and is navigating intensive treatments, frequent medical appointments, and the emotional and physical toll that comes with them. For the first time, the focus must be on her own healing.

Her farm has always been more than a home. It is a sanctuary. Continuing to care for the land and the animals she loves while undergoing treatment brings significant financial and emotional strain. Medical costs, travel, daily living expenses, and animal care are quickly adding up.

This GoFundMe is a way for her community to gently give back.

Your support will help:

• Ease medical and treatment-related expenses

• Allow Jacqueline the space to rest and heal

• Ensure continued care for the animals who depend on her

• Protect the sanctuary she has lovingly built

If you know Jackie, you know her quiet strength and deep kindness. If you don’t, please know that your support is helping someone who has spent her life caring for others.

Thank you for donating, sharing, and holding Jacqueline and Ethan in your thoughts.
