Jackie's Journey
Donation protected
As most of you know, our sweet Jackie had a medical emergency last week that has left her fighting for her life. Complications of her diabetes left her without enough oxygen for a number of hours which in turn caused significant trauma to her brain. While the prognosis is not good, we all believe that there is room for hope and that the Jackie we know, the one that has been battling diabetes for years while managing to make a wonderful life and career for herself, will continue to fight.
The Habeebs are extremely grateful to all that have gone to visit, reached out, offered help, and prayed for Jackie. With that said, I would ask that we offer our financial assistance as well. As of today, the plan is to bring Jackie up from Charleston back home to Boston where she will have the best care and be close to friends and family. The process of moving her via med flight is not covered by insurance and is in excess of $13,000 and while insurance will cover a lot of the actual costs associated with the medical care, there is still a significant portion that the Habeebs themselves will incur.
There isn’t a person that has met the Habeebs that hasn’t been touched by their selfless generosity. There is always a chair at the table for another guest, another bed for those in need, and a happy home for a wondering soul. When my sister in law was pregnant, they hosted her baby shower. When my brother passed away, they held the celebration of his life there. And when my wedding came to an end, it was the Habbebs that invited all guests for a nightcap. While I may have benefited more than most, I’m sure each of you has a fond memory of a holiday spent in their kitchen, a Patriots game in their family room, or a sweltering summer's day spent in their pool.
As the Habeebs often say, we are all cousins. It’s time we come together and support the family that made all of us family.
This is going to be an uphill battle but with your support and prayers I have no doubt that Jackie can do it. Please contribute what you can.
