Fundraiser for Jessica Ferella's final expenses

Donation protected
On February 15th 2024, the world lost the most beautiful soul I was blessed to know. Jessica passed away unexpectedly in her home at 32 years old, leaving behind her 2 beautiful children Jia (7 years old) and James (3 years old). As her best friend of almost 10 years, I am asking that from the bottom of my heart to please help me and her sister Jamie raise the funds to give her a proper burial. Jessica has no living blood relatives besides her sister Jamie, as she was raised in foster care. She was preceded in death by her biological mother, father, her lifelong friend Milo, and boyfriend Ryan. Jessica was an amazing person, friend, and mother. There is nothing in the world she wouldn't do for her children. They were her entire life. Both of her children are special needs, James has spinal bifida and requires round the clock care, and Jia has selective mutism due to trauma. We had plans to start a non profit organization to help women struggling with domestic violence and addiction. At the time of her death she was attending college to get her bachelor's degree in criminal justice. She was expected to graduate this winter. Jessica was a survivor of many traumas and one of the strongest people I ever knew. Any funds that are raised will be used to give her a proper burial, and any remaining funds will be divided and placed in a bank account for her two children. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated.
