In 2019, Jean was diagnosed with cancer and underwent radiation treatment in 2020. While still recovering, she was seriously injured in a 2021 car accident when a truck suddenly turned in front of her, causing a collision at approximately 55 miles per hour. She sustained significant injuries that continue to affect her today. As a realtor, these physical limitations, along with later diagnoses of PTSD and a brain injury, have significantly affected her ability to work, her income, and her daily life. Her son provides ongoing support by helping care for and walk Violet and assisting Jean as she continues to navigate her recovery.
