My name is Jessica, and I have the pleasure of knowing a very special woman, Patricia "Trish." Her heart of gold shines in every aspect of her life, there isn't anything this woman wouldn't do for a person in need. Myself being from Boston, moving to Texas and meeting Trish was my first impression of true Southern Hospitality & Class! Always put together, if there was one thing to say about my new friend, she always presented herself with dignity and showed respect to absolutely everyone she came across.
Trish is a homecare nurse. This means she spends hours in the homes of medically fragile patients, helping them and their families learn to cope with the incredible amount of work and emotions that go into a life of special needs. For example, when babygirl came home from the hospital with a feeding tube, ventilator, and trach (to help her survive a traumatic event after birth) her life immediately consisted of medical machines, medications hard to pronounce, and a long list of diagnoses. Trish stepped into the home and instantly brought a sense of calm understanding and care. Overtime, she became an irreplaceable part of their family.
Now I come to you with a heartfelt request. Trish went from working full-time selflessly caring for those in great need of skilled medical care & emotional support, to taking extended time off and becoming a patient herself. The reality of hospital bills has not even come to pass, as her daily cost of living while she is not working seems insurmountable on her own. She needs your help. No one should have to fear losing their home or having the lights shut off on top of the battle against a fast and furious diagnosis of cancer.
All the money raised will go directly to paying rent, electricity, water, insurance, groceries & gas. We hope to raise enough for her to get through at least the next few months of chemo and surgery. If by your generosity, there is additional funding, it will all go towards hospital bills as well as covering the cost of hotel stays near MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, while she undergoes treatment.
Please consider donating, every little bit helps.
With love and gratitude,
Jessica M. Kane
