Jesse’s Story

 



A house with 6 women would certainly be challenging for any man…not Jesse, according to his wife Corina, and five daughters; Jessica (14), Sage (13), Jordan (10), Dakota (8), and baby Sedona (10 months). “Dad is so fun,” Sage said. He has taught me everything I know about basketball.  Another daughter said; “He taught us to fish, swim, and is so funny”.  Another daughter loved to camp, go to the snow and sled, and have family BBQs.  Jesse’s girls love him and everyone knows it, and he loves them. Three words he can no longer say to them!

Imagine 5, graduations, 5 Jr prom dresses, 5 Senior Ball Dresses, 5 weddings to walk the isle with his girls, ball games, school plays, open houses, family gatherings, Halloween costumes, Thanksgiving Turkeys to cook, Easter Egg Hunts, and Christmas at Disneyland as they so often did.

Jesse will never be able to enjoy these simple things with his family again!


June 9th, 2015, Jesse and Corina set off to go to their cousins Auto Wrecking shop in Rancho Cordova, Corina the bookkeeper, and Jesse along to help his cousin at his shop as he often did. He was always helping others according to his family. He was off of his primary job as an electrician in Rocklin, CA.  Changing a tire on his cousin’s forklift was his way of helping out this day. His cousin did not want to have it done by a professional tire company so he could save the money, according to Jesse’s wife.

Jesse and his cousin were in the yard and his cousin came into the building. One of the workers came in the main shop and said “someone is hurt outside.” Even before Corina knew it was her husband she called 911. Her cousin said it was Jesse…… Corina went into shock, even as she followed the ambulance to the hospital, she did not realize how serious it was.

While Jesse was putting a new tire on the forklift, it exploded and the rim blew back and tore part of his head away, leaving him with Sever Brain Trauma, blind in his right eye, and very poor vision in his left. Since the accident he had been in and out of the hospital with severe chest pain, tremors, dizziness, and episodes of forgetting to swallow or even stand, or talk.


His cousin has indicated to the family, it was Jesse’s fault and he cannot be responsible to the family for any financial support. Presently, the state is giving the family $800.00 a month in food stamps and $1047.00 for medical.

As I sat with Jesse’s wife and 5 girls for lunch today, I realized how blessed I am and how easily life can change for any of us. I am reaching out to all my friends, family members, and professional acquaintances to help this family in desperate need until they can get answers or help through the correct government agencies or lawful channels.

Please join our family, friends and professional acquaintances in the fight to help Jesse and his girls. Donate what you can so the family can survive through this horrific ordeal until help from insurance companies come through or social security can step in.
