While away in Florida I learned that my friend Jessica from MDC found out that after battling breast cancer and a recent brain tumor, she has carcinoma meningitis which is cancer in her spinal fluid. She and her family have decided that she will go home for hospice care. Jess has a son born in the same birth month as Gabbie, which is mainly how I know her. Her son's name is Noah. She also lives semi locally to me, although we were never able to meet in person. In September she had her second son, Gavin. He is the baby that I was and am helping to find breastmilk donations for.
For anyone looking to give to a charitable organization this year, to take a little bit of money that they might have and give to someone-please, send it to the address below. Jessica's husband will need a base to help raise their 2 young sons, find childcare, etc. Any amount can help.
Jessica Quinn Family Foundation
c/o Bobbi McGoldrick
2 Homestead Road
Lake Hopatcong, NJ 07849
You can also PayPal them directly at jackmightyquinn at yahoo dot com
Any gifted amount will help 2 little boys who will soon only have their dad as their parent in this world to rely on, and help them with whatever they need in their journey.
And of course please keep Jessica, Jack, Noah and Gavin in your prayers this holiday season. As another mom from our birth month group said-this is the season of miracles. Jessica has been able to beat her brain tumor-maybe with a little help from above, this too shall pass.
Please pray for a peaceful journey for Jessica, and continued love and strength to her husband and sons.
And please, feel free to share this post with others. (thanks to Ursula for some of this text).
