Justice For Jessie And Her Baby

Jessie Waters was born on April 11, 1984. She was the oldest of six kids. Our mother died in 2002, and jess being the oldest took on that motherly role, and more or less became our mother. She was amazing. Jessie gave birth to two boys at a young age, Phillip Jr, and Chevy. They are 12 and 13 years old.They were her pride and joy. She loved the both of them very much. She was very involved in the boys activities at school. She was the assistant coach to her sons basketball team. She was also the school chaperone for field trips, and when she was needed.  Jessie was the kind of person that lit  up the whole  room. She had an infectious laugh, and loved everybody she met. She was outgoing and very easy to talk to, she had many friends. Jessie was in a relationship  with the father of her two boys for 14 years. In 2014, they ended their relationship and Jessie quickly rebounded into another relationship with Duane Benson. Things moved too fast and escalated quickly. A month after getting involved with Duane Benson, Jess was physically beaten on a daily basis. Duane was an alcoholic who had temper issues. He drank all the time. He was an abusive alcoholic who was very mean. If he had a bad dream or if he was hungary, or tired, He'd hit her for it. Sometimes for no reason at all. He isolated her from us to the point where she felt like she couldnt come and talk to us about him.  He threatend her life many times.. In December 2014, Duane beat Jessie, then burned her trailer to the ground. It breaks my heart to know that Jess stood there and watched her trailer burn, knowing she could do nothing about it. Soon after he burned her trailer down, he broke all her car windows out, so she was also car less.  the things Jess went through I could not imagine  . In February 2015, Jess found out she was pregnant by Duane. It was a suprise. We were beyond excited for her. We could see how excited she was to be pregnant agian. She was glowing, and she was happy.We could see that she was in mother mode, getting ready for the baby. Her due date was October 17, 2015.  On April 7, 2015 our sister Jess got a protection order agianst Duane. He beat her that morning and that night.  She left him, only to reconcile with him on April 11, for her birthday. She just turned 31. Just three weeks later on April 30, 2015 my sister was found dead on an isolated dirt road. Duane had threw her from the vehicle and ran her over. She was 12 weeks pregnant at the time. Jessie was our big sister whom we loved very much. She was our mother. our role model, and our best friend. This whole experience is very draining, physically, emotionally and mentally. Our family needs help.. We dont have much. Our resources are limited. Her memorial is a few months away. We still need to buy the headstone. We also need help with her memorial costs, such as the food, and giveaway. We also plan on doing a Walk Against Domestic Violence for her, as well as a candleligt vigil in April. We'd like to start getting everything ready for that. We want to make a meal and feed everybody that attends our Walk and Vigil. We'd also like to get supplies for the walk. We need alot of candles, candle holders. We want to get shirts and sweaters to put her picture and name on them. We'd like to hand out the shirts at the walk to everybody who attends. We also would like to get a Huge  marker sign and put her name and picture on that as well as her DOB and DOD. We want to set that up on the side of the road where she was found on April 30. We hope the sign will be there to remind people of our sister, and remind everyone that was the spot where Duane commited this unthinkable crime.. I want to do many things for her, but my funds are limited. Her boys are in much need also. They dont have much. Everything they had burned up in  the trailer, when he burned it down. They had an xbox, many games. movies, and clothes. They dont have anything like that anymore. I'd like to also use the money to get them clothes, shoes. and the things Jessie could've provided for them. .Its heartbreaking to see the pain, and confusion in their eyes. This is the first year back to school without their mother.  I could only imagine how they feel this school year without her. We are hurting for them also. They could use alot of support.  Please keep them in your prayers. We aint asking  formuch just something to get us started. Even if you can just keep her and the boys in your thoughts and prayers, that would be awesome. This really means alot, as we are healing and dealing with the aftermath of the sudden loss of our sister. Even just taking the time to read this and send a thoughtful prayer really helps. Thank You.
