Support Jess through this unimaginable diagnosis
Our beautiful Jess, our sister, daughter, devoted mum, soulmate to Andy, and cherished friend to so many, has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). This has metastasised (spread) to her liver and gallbladder. What we know so far is that this cancer is very rare and aggressive. With no options for a cure, we are hoping that Chemo might give us more time, our family is doing everything we can to support her through the treatment and journey ahead.
Jess is a devoted mum to four incredible girls, step mum to Archie and Theo, and possibly the kindest, most genuine, and gentle humans you could ever meet. She gives so much of herself to others, to her family, her friends, and her clients through her work as an OT. Now, it’s our turn to help hold her.
We’re raising funds to help ease the financial pressure while Jess and Andy navigate next steps around treatment. We hope to extend survival, improve quality of life, and give Jess the chance to be as comfortable as possible, do some of the things she loves, and spend precious time with the people she loves. At this stage, we are not sure that Jess will be able to return to work in any capacity.
Funds raised will go toward medical costs, travel to appointments, household bills, and supporting Andy and the kids during this incredibly tough and heartbreaking time.
When life changes so suddenly, the last thing anyone should have to worry about is how they’ll pay the bills or take time off work to care for the person they love.
If you’re able to donate, big or small, it will make a real difference. If you can’t donate, we completely understand and simply ask that you can help by sharing this page or sending love and prayers. It all really means the world to us.
Thank you for standing with Jess and our family. ❤
