Chantrell's Medical Expenses
We are the Watson Family. Shawn and Jennifer are parents to 4 children (Shenia 32, Chantrell 26, Gabriel 22 and Jordan 17). Our family has just suffered great tragedy in the passing from this life our daughter Chantrell. In 2009 Chantrell was diagnosed with Idiopathic Primary Pulmonary Hypertension while she was a freshman in college. although she suffered from this incurable she never lost her zeal for life. Her dream of finishing college became a reality in December 2015 when she received her Bachelors Degree from UL of Lafayette . For the past twenty years our family lived in Louisiana but Chantrell's desire was to return to the place of her birth in California to pursue her career and reunite with family. In July we relocated to California leaving Job and Ministry to fulfill her desire. After being back in california for 3 months our worst fear became reality. Chantrell passed away on October 22 after suffering severe heart failure. Because of our current employment situation we have exhausted most of our resources and are in need of some assistance. The funds raised will go towards exorbitant medical expenses incurred because of her illness and the cost of funeral expenses.
Our family would like to express our gratitude in advance to each of you for kindness, generosity and expressed concern. Just know that in whatever way you are able to assist our family greatly appreciates.
