Dear Jikoji Sangha,

An emeritus Jikoji guiding teacher, Paula Jones, is in hospice with advanced Alzheimer's. Her family is working hard to ensure her final months are spent in dignity and love.

While Medicare covers her medical care, the costs of her hospice facility, including her room, daily care, and comfort, are not covered and fall entirely on her family. A GoFundMe campaign is aiming to cover these expenses, so her loved ones can focus on being with her.

Paula is a remarkable woman, an artist, poet, teacher, and Zen practitioner who has touched many lives with her humor, wisdom, and kindness. She leaves behind her husband, daughter, and countless friends who cherish her spirit.

Please consider contributing what you can to help cover her care costs. Even a small donation or share can make a meaningful difference during this difficult time. Thank you so much for your support and compassion.
