Jeanne Spencer's GoFundMe
Donation protected
Dear Friends & Family,
As you may know, Jeanne Spencer was recently diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), for which there is no cure. After a lengthy hospital stay, Jeanne is now home with her family and continues to be in good spirits and surrounded by love.
Jeanne has had an enormous outpouring of support from her family and friends, many of whom have brought meals to our home, sent flowers, or brightened Jeanne’s day with a personal visit. We will be forever grateful for everything each of you have done for our family during this time.
In lieu of the many offers we continually receive to help Jeanne and our family, we have decided to start a GoFundMe campaign as an additional way for people to show their support. After carefully evaluating all anticipated medical costs, we are setting a target of $150,000. Any amount received toward that goal will be applied toward out-of-pocket medical expenses associated with Jeanne’s 20+ day hospital stay, as well as the ongoing in-home hospice and full time nursing staff that Jeanne now requires.
Any remaining dollar amount will be donated directly to the Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) Foundation (https://cjdfoundation.org/) to promote research and support other families that have been similarly affected by this disease. We will aim to provide a certificate/receipt of this donation, and will communicate further regarding how much each of you can write off as a tax deductible, charitable donation.
Thank you all for your continued love and support,
The Spencer Family
