Brian Federico

Jolene Federico is a long-time small business owner in Tracy, California, and the heart of our family. For over 20 years, she has owned and operated Tracy Mail & More, serving her neighbors with dedication and kindness. Jolene is the wife of Brian Federico Sr., mother to Brian “Joey” Federico Jr. and Dakota Federico, and daughter of Rita Morris Federico. Our family has lived, worked, and invested in the Tracy area for more than 30 years, and Jolene has always been the one helping others—through small business dreams, family milestones, and everyday life. About five months ago, Jolene suffered what was initially believed to be a stroke. After further testing, she was diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive and fast-growing form of brain cancer. She underwent extensive neurosurgery to remove most of the tumor, followed by radiation treatment. During her recovery, Jolene developed a severe and life-threatening E. coli infection in her brain—a rare and extremely serious complication. This required prolonged hospitalization, intensive antibiotic treatment, and continuous monitoring. At multiple points, her condition was critical. After extended hospital stays and round-the-clock medical care, she stabilized enough to be discharged home. She returned home only a few days ago and is now entering the next phase of treatment and recovery. We are raising funds to cover 24-hour in-home medical care, ongoing cancer treatments, follow-up neurological care, infection management, rehabilitation therapies, medical equipment, home modifications, and relief from mounting medical expenses and loss of income due to her inability to operate her business. Every contribution, every share, and every prayer truly matters. If you’ve ever walked into her store, if she’s ever helped you ship something important, or if she’s ever smiled at you across the counter—please consider standing with her now. We believe in her strength, we believe in this community, and we are beyond grateful for any support you can give. With love and gratitude, The Federico Family
