Hello, my name is Kat and I have worked with Jeanette at Children's Hospital in the operating room for 9 years. Always ready with a smile, a friendly hello, and a wholehearted commitment to our team, Jeanette never hesitates to jump in and help. We are a family in the operating room at Children's, and when Jeanette decided she wanted to pursue her own professional goals we were all in. Recently she changed positions from a housekeeper to a Service specific aide in the hospital with the ultimate goal of becoming a patient care in in our Anesthetic Care Unit, and she reached that goal, we were so excited for her! Unfortunately she had to give up her full time position and her benefits in order to reach that goal. She had to start out as a casual in the patient care aide position, with the intent of taking a full time job when it came available. After only 4 weeks training for her new job, Jeanette started experiencing some stomach pain. She went to have herself checked out and was told that it wasn't anything to worry about. her symptoms became worse and so she went to the emergency department and received the worst news possible, she had cancer. Stage 4 liver cancer to be exact, and it has spread.
Jeanette and her husband, have 2 small children at home, Valerie and Vincent. While in the hospital her family is doing all they can to support her and make sure that the kids have everything they need. The plan for any funds we raise is to help out with medical expenses and any financial support the family might need at this incredibly challenging time. This is where we come in!
Having no extended benefits at this time is going to make Jeanette's time in the hospital and her treatment very challenging for her family, financially. Please give whatever you can to help this amazing women and her family, every penny counts! Her family at Children's Hospital is doing everything it can to support her, we would appreciate if you would too!
