Stay Strong Jackson

ABOUT JACKSON AND THE EDWARDS FAMILY

Jackson was an amazing 12 year old boy who had been battling leukemia and the side effects and subsequent treatments since 2013.

After being diagnosed, Jackson received multiple rounds of intense chemotherapy, requiring a hospital stay of 283 days, and was finally in remission. In December of 2016, Jackson relapsed and would need a bone marrow transplant. The transplant took place in 2017 with his mother Danielle being the donor.

Danielle is a single mother who fought along Jackson's side, day and night. Danielle also has a 14 year old son named CJ that she independently cares for.

In April 2019, Jackson took a turn for the worst. Jackson was placed on life support in a medically induced coma while he fought for his life.

Unfortunately, on May 15, Jackson lost his battle and is now in heaven with God and his loved ones. 

Funds raised will be used for Jackson's funeral expenses, gravestone and to support the family during this devastating time.  I am asking our community, family and friends to help this wonderful family out. Please find it in your heart to pray for Jackson and his family and make a donation. 

Thank you for the love and support!
