Her Work in Education: A Heart for Children Who Need Support

Jessica’s decision to work as a special education assistant in an elementary school speaks volumes about her character.

She understands vulnerability.
She understands fear.
She understands what it means to need help when the world feels too big, too hard, or too overwhelming.

In many ways, she connects with children like few others can.

Her patience, her empathy, her gentle tone — they form part of who she is, but also who she became because of what happened to her.

People who work with her often say she brings:

  • a sense of calm

  • an intuitive understanding of children’s emotions

  • compassion rooted in lived experience

“I know what it means to be cared for by strangers who owe you nothing. I just want to pass that forward in small ways.”

And she does — every day.

Enough was left to buy a house — a foundation, a sense of stability, a place to build a future.

And to her, that was more than enough.

She has never measured her life by money.
She measures it by survival, by family, by simple blessings.
