Hoping to get back to Sick Kids in February for a pre-transplant clinic, which we hopefully find out if a donor has come forward.
With this disease comes lots of anxieties, which she is now being treated for. We are currently in the planning stages for a service dog for Jessie. We have decided to create a GoFundMe page for Jessie to obtain a service dog. With fundraising being only virtual due to COVID19, ideas were too few. Every donation is truly appreciated.
Here is the link for Service Dog for Jess
Trying to stay positive and living day to day in this new world.
Thanks for reaching out and the support.
Much love from all of us 💕
Kim, George, Jonny, Josh, Jessie Gross
Please help give Jessica another chance at a healthy life and consider giving the gift of life if you are:
- 18-55 years old
- Have no other underlying conditions (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, kidney stones. Etc)
- Blood Type B+/- or O+/-

Transplant is not a cure but is the best treatment. The search for a living donor is the best chance for Jessica to have a long, successful life. She has a lot of living left to do.
