UPDATE ON JESS ❤️
7 July 2023I just wanted to post an update for everyone - firstly the donations made i still can’t believe $39,000 was raised for Jess, Norbert & the kids … honestly this is life changing money for them & has really helped in ways hard to describe.. it has enabled them to buy an 8 seater van & cover many living & family costs that now that the farm income has dropped so much due to bad season & sale of some Cows .. this money is literally life saving!
5 weeks post surgery the tumour that was removed had fully returned & 2 new tumours were found - so now 4 in total so the cancer is extremely aggressive so the decision was made to start chemo & radiation immediately as it is growing so fast. Jess is 2 weeks into it so far …she has it 5 days a week in Hamilton - unfortunately it is making her very very sick & yesterday she was so sick so she was taken to hospital where she still is at this moment which makes things really hard for Norbert who is running the farm on his own & managing 6 children - Nico being 9 months old. The good news is that the money raised has helped them to hire an Opair Maria who is 18 who will live with the family & look after the children full time from this Monday so this is extremely helpful!
As Jess would say - please pray for her as she battles this tough time & the next 4 weeks of chemo & radio & hopefully she stays well enough to finish the course.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers & help to my amazing sister Jess & her family ❤️
