Fundraiser for Jessi Wright in Tampico on Sunday

Submitted

The PLT community is coming together to raise funds for Tampico resident Jessi Wright at a fundraiser on Sunday, November 15th from 1-5 p.m. at the Reagan Community Center in Tampico.

Jessi is currently dealing with a severe endometriosis, a chronic and painful disease that has greatly impacted her health and daily life. After a previous surgery that didn’t provide the relief she needed, she had the opportunity to see a specialized endometriosis excision specialist in New York. This fundraiser will help cover the medical expenses, travel, and related costs so she can receive the specialized care she needs during her endometriosis surgery in New York. 

Sunday’s fundraiser at the Reagan Community Center includes:

  • DJ and music
  • Food available for purchase (hotdogs, brats, chips, potato salad and drinks)
  • Face painting
  • Silent auction
  • Bake sale

Her family shared that “Jessi’s fight is our fight! She’s a devoted mom and wife, and she’s fighting hard.” They’re still accepting donations from businesses and individuals for raffle prizes for the event.

Jessi is grateful for the community that is supporting her in her time of need. “I honestly can’t put into words how much it means to have people willing to help support me and my family through this journey,” she said of all the time and care, financial donations, and help with the upcoming fundraiser.

If you can’t attend this fundraiser on November 15th, you can also send donations to Jessi Wright, 202 E. Kimball St., Tampico, IL 61283, or click this link to donate via GoFundMe.
