Help Jesse Fight His Brain Tumor

Donation protected

Jesse Jerdak, a wonderful husband, father, and positive community member/influencer, has recently found out that he has a brain tumor that has expanded into his optic nerve, and pushing up against his sinus walls. If this continues untreated, Jesse could look at a permanent loss of body functionality, potentially death.

Luckily, we were able to catch it and get Jesse on proper treatment! However, the process will be long and expensive. 

With treatment including continuous use of drugs (such as cabergoline) as well as observations and tests (such as blood tests and MRI scans), this will be a costly recovery. Something no one is ever truly prepared for.

That's where I hope, we as a community, can step in and help ease the burden on Jesse and his family. This GoFundMe campaign will be to help raise money for medical expenses for Jesse, as well as any auxiliary expenses that may arise in the process. 

This campaign has been started with the awareness and approval by Jesse. Though, if you know anything about him, you know he is always the type to give than receive and struggled to say yes when asked if we could set this up. That's the type of kind soul he is! 

Please help and let's come together to help a pillar of light in our community get through a tough time in their lives, just as they have in ours by bringing us joy and love.

If you prefer an alternative method to support Jesse, he has a Ko-Fi. Link below:

Also, here is a video that Jesse put out himself about the current situation:
