- **Event Description**: Myself and the MOJO Team are hosting a Fundraiser for one of our own! We are asking that you come out, support if you can, have a drink, play some poker, or bid on some awesome auction items. There will 50+ items to silent bid on from themed gift baskets, signed memorabilia, etc.
All proceeds will go to Jessica Thompson or as many of you know her JT.
For the past two years, JT has been fighting a silent and devastating battle against a persistent spinal bone infection. Despite countless treatments, the infection has remained, aggressively eroding the bones of her spine and causing extensive physical destruction. This February, JT will travel to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, for a high-stakes surgery that serves as her best hope for a future. Surgeons will attempt to clean out the infected tissue if possible and perform a total reconstruction of the damaged area using donor bone, rods, and pins. This complex procedure aims to stabilize her spine, reduce her debilitating daily pain, and eventually help her walk again.

The path to healing is daunting and incredibly long. Following the surgery, JT will undergo six weeks of intensive IV antibiotics at a cost of $3,000 per week, followed by daily oral antibiotics for the rest of her life to keep the remaining infection at bay. She faces a minimum of 3-4 months of total bed rest before physical therapy can even begin, with a full year of recovery ahead.

Because this life-saving care is out-of-network, insurance covers only a small fraction of the costs. To make matters more difficult, her husband, Scott, is taking unpaid leave through FMLA to be by her side every step of the way. All funds collected will directly fund IV medications, travel to Minnesota, and the mounting medical bills, allowing JT and Scott to focus on the long road to recovery rather than the weight of financial stress. Thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and your generosity.
