Mom

Imagine being 6 months pregnant with a healthy baby and your two-year-old daughter develops a fever. An ordinary doctor visit for a toddler turns into an extraordinarily painful diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 

After falling apart, you and your husband finally hear good news, "Chemotherapy, treatment, cure for Jordan!”

Despite needle sticks, tears, and sleepless nights, Jordan tolerates chemotherapy like a champ, creating smiles, laughter, and a new game of peek-a-boo. 

Awakening in the night to tears from the crib, you race your daughter to the ER...but it's too late. Her heart is still beating but Jordan’s colon is obstructed, and her body is too ill to be resuscitated. You say goodbye in the emergency room to your two-year-old, the superhero who showed you the meaning of tough. 

With a living baby kicking inside your belly, you ask your husband how you can possibly afford or plan to celebrate and bury your daughter with a second baby on the way. Your husband reaches out to your social worker who calls Jane’s Fund. Help is on the way. 

Thank you for helping Jordan’s family take the next steps:
Cremation and Memorial Service for Jordan: $4,000
Supplies for Jordan’s unborn baby brother, due early summer: $10,000
