Urgent Help Needed for Funeral Expenses for our daughter “Jackie”

Time is short — and we need help.

Curtis and Carmelinda, loving parents of Jacqueline "Jackie" Thomas, are devastated by this sudden, tragic loss.

Jackie did not have insurance, and the sudden impact of her death has put her funeral in immediate jeopardy.

Jackie leaves behind 5 children:
Antonio (18), Anne Marie (17), Jarmarion (12), and newborn twins
Kyrie & Kamari (7 months)

Her funeral is scheduled in less than 10 days, on February 13, 2026, at Brian Pickett's Funeral Group—5301 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60644.

Asking for financial help is not our first choice — it’s the only option we have left. We are trying to raise $8000 to cover the funeral and service costs so our family can lay Jackie to rest with dignity.

Please help financially, even a small contribution will make a huge difference. If you cannot give money, you can support her family by attending the funeral and standing with us in love and prayer.

For those who want to know what we need and how to help:

We need:

As her father, I — Curtis Collins — am leaning on the love of the fellowship during this time. Your support will help lift a heavy burden off our family so we can focus on being together and honoring Jackie’s life.

We are deeply grateful for every bit of help — financial, emotional, or spiritual. Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your compassion during this painful and urgent time.

With love and gratitude,

Curtis & Carmelinda
