JAMIE MARTIN'S Story

Hi. I am trying to raise money for the family of a friend. She recently lost her older sister. Not only did she lose a sister, but her parents lost a daughter and her 9 year old niece lost her mother! Things happened very quickly for this family. My friend's sister's name was Jamie Martin. Jamie went in to get check because she was not feeling well and throwing up. Doctors ended up finding a lot of fluid on her abdomen. They drained about 45 pounds of fluid off, but this did not seem to help. She was getting worse. Her kidneys starting failing, her blood pressure was going up and they were trying to keep her heart stable. In addition to this, they found out she had ovarian cancer. Within a week of going to the doctor thinking she was sick with a virus......she was in ICU, sedated and on total life support. Her family was also being told they had 3 days to decide what they wanted to do. They did not decide to take her off life support, but her heart stopped beating on Jan. 11th. This is a loving Christian family who are known for being kind and always going out of the way to help others. Obviously, this was a very sudden death at a young age (I believe she was 31) and the family was not prepared for funeral cost.....much less the hospital bill they will be receiving, since Jamie didn't have insurance. I am asking that you pray for this family and see what you may be able to contribute towards the expense this family is going to be burdened with. We all know that money is such a stress just in itself, but to have that in addition to an unexpected death is at the very least difficult. Please contact me if you would like to help this wonderful family out! My goal would be to raise $1,000 or more and surprise this family with your care and generosity that they give out to others everyday. Let's let them know that they are loved and that things will be ok. You can donate using the DONATE button at the top left of this page! If you would like to donate in another way, my e-mail is: robin_thome@hotmail.com Please share this page with anyone you think would be willing to help!

Thank you in advance for helping support this family!

Blessings,

Robin Thome
