Sending Jaz Home (Funeral Costs)
Donation protected
First off , To MY Beautiful family , friends and especially to Those who I don’t know but you read and something moves you to bless us?? I THANK YOU !!! BEYOND WHAT WORDS CAN SAY AND MY HEART CAN FEEL.
My Jaz!!! The sweetest love I ever known. Passed away suddenly in his sleep on Weds, Jaz was a vivacious!! Energetic!!! Loving Child!!! To Know him? Was to love Him. Jaz could not talk as he was non verbal and had Autism, But the Way he loved?!! He need not to say one word. Because we all felt it!! Jaz was Fun ! Cool! Musically inclined & just a pure Joy to my life and so many others.
But we had some heavy challenges in life!
& ONE BIG ONE. Was the ABILITY to obtain life insurance for him! I remember Jaz was 4. And. The life insurance company set up a meeting at my house to discuss policies for my family. Everything was good. Until it came to Jaz. they told me that they could not insure Him because he had Autism. And most likely No company would! I cried like a baby because I believed it was Unfair. But I am my child biggest advocate and I Still continued to Apply high and low throughout his life trying to get him a policy. To no avail Nothing went through and I was defeated.
Then the worse happened. Jaz passed.
leaving me torn in more ways then one.
i have recently given birth to a baby girl and my liquid funds are very low right now because I was Suffering with things post partum and then I had to still care for my new born Baby girl & youngest son Sage & Jaz did require a lot of care in home as well too,
I feel No One knows the True struggles and injustices that sometimes goes on with those special needs and how hard it is to Get help, get secured, Get proper care & access to things. But GOD!
If you can find it in your heart. Please. I Thank you and I love you. Jaz loves you too!! He truly loved Everyone!
This fundraiser is For the life and legacy of Jaz so we can send him home properly. ( we are aiming for sept 2nd or 3rd). But Will continue to accept donations past the Date
