One of our wonderful North Star families is in need of our support and we are ready to help them! Jenny Custer, a mom of a NS 2nd and a 5th grader, has been suddenly stricken with a very rare autoimmune disorder called Neuromyelitis Optica. This disorder has brought Jenny from vibrant and healthy to almost complete paralysis within 24 hours. She was flown to Salt Lake City, where a University of Utah hospital team of specialists are working with her. She has been holding strong and fighting hard and we couldn't be happier that we still have Jenny blessing this earth with her presence.
Jenny is always first in line to help and give to others both at North Star and in the community. She is a cheer coach to the Vipers cheerleaders, volunteer at North Star Charter school, President of the Lit Ladies Book Club, co-leader in Meridian Mops....the list goes on! Jenny’s love for everyone around her is limitless!
Now it’s our turn to show support to one of our own! There will be a jar in every K-5 classroom over the next few months. Any time you are able to send your child with spare change, we will hear the happy clank of coins dropping in our Pennies for Jenny fundraiser. Every Friday, the money will be collected and deposited in a fund for Jenny Custer. The family is so thankful for the financial support in paying hospital bills, travel expenses and anything else that may come up in Jenny’s journey to recovery.
