#31 - 7.21.21 - Love, Jessica Change Makers

    • Society & Culture

Love, Jessica was founded by Jennifer Jara on July 1st, 2020. Jennifer and her husband lost their first child, Jessica, at 27 weeks and their hearts were broken. In the weeks following, as they tried to adjust to the loss the medical bills started coming in to add to the pain. It made her think, “this is how everyone who has asked to help could have helped me,” she said. Aside from bringing their baby back to life, the other only thing possible would be to help eliminate the bills, and that's how Love, Jessica was born.
This phenomenal organization helps parents going through that loss. Mallory also bears the same story and she works with Love, Jessica to honor her stillborn son Noah. To date they have been able to help 60 families and are just getting started.
