Donations for Jeanette Watts
For more than a year, Jeanette lived with constant back pain, trusting answers would eventually come. Like so many of us, she kept pushing forward—working, caring for her family, and staying strong—until doctors ordered deeper testing. An MRI, ultrasound, and X-rays revealed devastating news: a tumor on her pancreas along with spots on her liver.
Jeanette is receiving care at MD Anderson in The Woodlands, where a treatment plan was set. Just as she prepared to begin chemotherapy, she suffered a stroke and was hospitalized at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont. This required blood thinners, caused extreme loss of energy and appetite, and postponed chemotherapy for 4 more weeks. The road ahead is uncertain and exhausting—but she is not giving up.
Jeanette works for Texas Dept of Criminal Justice at The Gist Unit, is a proud Port Neches resident, a loving wife to Alfred Watts, and the heart of her family. She is mother to two sons and grandmother to six grandchildren who adore her. She has spent her life showing up for others. Now, she needs us to show up for her.
This benefit is about more than medical bills—it’s about hope, dignity, and reminding Jeanette and her family they are not alone. Your support through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word can lift an enormous burden and give this family strength to keep fighting. Together, we can make a real difference—right when it matters most.

Donations for Marilyn Adaway
Marilyn’s life has been shaped by resilience, faith, and an unshakable love for her family. The middle child of seven—six sisters and one brother—she learned early how to be strong, compassionate, and selfless. Born and raised in Groves, Texas, Marilyn built a life centered on family. She is the proud mother of three children, a grandmother to five, and a loving “bonus grandma” to three more who see her as their own.
Her journey has not been easy. In 2010, Marilyn survived a horrific accident when she was run over by a truck, suffering all 12 ribs cracked and spending three weeks in the ICU. Life later took her to Arkansas during family challenges, where she leaned on her oldest sister and found strength to keep going. In 2018, Marilyn faced breast cancer and underwent a left mastectomy. Two years later, she battled skin cancer. After five years cancer-free, devastating news arrived again in April 2025: a diagnosis of small cell lung cancer.
Through every trial, Marilyn has placed her faith in God, believing her life rests in His hands. Her strength is inspiring—but strength doesn’t pay medical bills or stretch groceries. Marilyn lives on a fixed Social Security income of just $750 a month. Her family is helping however they can, but the financial strain is overwhelming.
This benefit is a chance to wrap Marilyn in love, support, and hope. Your donations, time, and kindness can ease her burden and remind her she is not fighting alone. Together, we can be the hands and hearts that help carry her through this fight.

Donations for Danny Theriot
On Feb 28, 2025, Danny’s life changed in an instant. A simple trip to the bathroom ended in a devastating fall that caused a severe brain hemorrhage. He was care-flighted to St. Luke’s Hospital in Houston, where he fought for his life under the care of world-class neurosurgeons. What followed has been a journey no family is ever prepared for.
After surviving multiple setbacks—including dangerous blood clots in his lungs—Danny was accepted into TIRR, one of the nation’s most intensive rehabilitation programs. There, he began the long process of relearning how to walk, talk, eat, and perform basic daily tasks. Step by step, progress has come. He is speaking again, eating soft foods, participating in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and reconnecting with loved ones through FaceTime. Every milestone has been hard-won.
But the road ahead remains long and costly. Danny was unexpectedly dropped by his insurance, forcing his wife to place him on limited coverage that does not meet his ongoing needs. He now requires full-time assistance and continued therapy at home—expenses that are quickly overwhelming a family already stretched thin.
This benefit is about standing beside Danny and his family when they need it most. Your donations, time, prayers, and support will directly help ease the burden and give Danny the best chance at recovery. Together, we can help carry this family forward—one hopeful step at a time.
