JackiesFinalExpenses

      On December 17^th, 2023, my sister Jackie who was battling cancer against impossible odds, went into Cardiac Arrest at the hospital, where Doctors & Nurses tried unsuccessfully for 30 minutes to bring her back. After a long, painful, illness-stricken life full of suffering, she is finally at peace and out of pain. Jackie left behind her kids’ father, Clark, and her two young children. Aunna, her daughter, is 16 years old and her son, Gabriel, is only 8 years old. It has been more than emotionally difficult for the entire family. Due to Jackie’s lifelong poor health, the life insurance companies either refused to give her a policy, or they said she had to survive a certain length of time before they would pay anything to the family. Unfortunately, she passed just a few weeks short of that time, therefore the insurance companies are not sending any relief to cover expenses. In addition to final expenses such as the funeral/showing, cremation, etc., her immediate family relied heavily on her monthly income to cover bills and living expenses. They own a 4-bedroom house in Washington Courthouse and their monthly mortgage is over $1,000.00 per month. Then of course they have all the other bills that come with maintaining a household. The kids’ father is also on disability and has a fixed, monthly income. So, in the immediate future, they desperately need help covering these expenses to maintain a roof over their head. Finally, possibly the worst part of it all, Jackie’s kids don’t have anything to open on Christmas morning. Not only will they have to deal with their mom being gone just days before the holiday, but they currently have absolutely nothing in the way of presents to open on Christmas morning. Their grandpa, who also lives with them, is currently in the hospital, the same hospital where his daughter just passed, on the same floor, where he just had his left leg amputated due to infection caused by diabetes. He will not be present on Christmas morning either. So, it will only be their father, their sibling and themselves on that somber morning. This family could really, really use some help. If all you can afford is to share this fundraiser, I would be eternally grateful. We love and appreciate everyone for their support and love during this difficult time. Thank you.
