Support Janine's Healing Journey
Donation protected
Our dear friend Janine has always been a source of strength and support for so many of us whether it’s through her work talents, compassionate nature or her DJ skills as an integral part of our tight-knit music community. After struggling with the financial impact of chronic illness for the past two years, help is needed now, more than ever. Recently, Janine suffered an intense event and hospitalization from a seizure and weakened heart. This has left her on bedrest and in deep recovery, unable to work or drive or manage daily tasks like grocery shop, prepare food, clean the house and get to and from appointments.
While she is expected to make a full recovery, that requires time, rest, and a stress-free environment—something that’s nearly impossible to achieve while worrying about these things.
Janine has always been there for her friends, family, and community. Now it’s our turn to show her how much we care. Together, we can help lift her burdens and give her the time and space she needs to heal. Every little bit helps lighten the load and allows her to focus on her recovery without the weight of additional financial stress.
Thank you for your love, support, and generosity. Your kindness during this challenging time is deeply appreciated, and it means the world to Janine and to all of us who care for her.
With heartfelt gratitude,
What is Broken Heart Syndrome?
Broken heart syndrome, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, weakens the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. While it’s often reversible, recovery requires time, rest, and a stress-free environment—something that’s nearly impossible to achieve while worrying about bills, groceries, and everyday responsibilities.
Why Janine Needs Our Help
Janine is not only unable to work right now but also overwhelmed by the financial burden of keeping up with:
Medi-cal
Rent and utility bills
Groceries and meal preparation
House cleaning and daily chores
Let’s come together to ease her load so she can focus on what truly matters: healing and recovery.
How You Can Make a Difference
Your donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping Janine with:
• Hiring professional cleaners to keep her home a stress-free space
• Covering groceries and meal services to nourish her body
