In June of 2010, Jessi just returned home from a vacation to Panama City Beach with her best friend Hannah. The week was full of fun activities like parasailing, shopping, swimming, pedicures but when she arrived home she was very tired and had an unexplained fever which returned the following day. After a trip to the the ER and confirming very low blood counts Jessi was transported by ambulance to Egleston Hospital in Atlanta where it was confirmed that Jessi had AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). On November 25th, Jessi was called home to be with God.
Jessi always wanted to help others. She always said when she became cancer free she wanted to visit other children with cancer and encourage them. Jessi’s dream was to “Pay it Forward” to help grant wishes for these other children. Please join us for a day of helping Jessi’s wish come true and granting wishes for more children facing challenging circumstances.
