Hello -

I am Megan, the sister in law of Jesse, sister of Jenna, and auntie of Janelle (almost 15), Xavier (14), and Stark (4)

Jesse's medical history involves a kidney transplant back in 2003 due to hereditary nephritis.

For 20 years Jesse has needed anti-rejection intravenous therapy, so his body won't reject the kidney. Early on he was informed by specialists that the antirejection medication could cause cancer, but he had to take that chance. Sadly, that day has come. 

On December 22, 2023, he was admitted to the emergency room where the doctors found cancer throughout his entire body. On January 4, 2024, at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, the results pointed to large B-cell lymphoma, but we are still waiting on definitive results.

On January 8, 2024, Jesse was unable to walk and was brought by ambulance to Bellin Hospital where they discovered a tumor caused an L2 vertebrae fracture. He was then brought to Froedtert Hospital via ambulance. Jenna followed the ambulance; she did not want the love of her life to be alone during the biopsy and first round of chemotherapy.

Jesse is the type of man who will do anything for anyone. He gives back to the community in any way he can. One of his favorite charities is Toys for Tots, he believes that every child should be able to believe in the magic of Christmas. He is genuine, caring, a loving husband and father.

His wife Jenna is a stay-at-home mother and Jesse has a successful tattoo shop “Darkside Tattoos.” Jesse will not be able to work during this time and the family could use some help with medical, household, and transportation costs.

To all dear family and friends, we would like to ask if you would please donate to the Zeise family in their time of need. Every penny helps, every prayer helps, and every thought helps. 

Let's show Jesse he has an army behind him and that the FORCE IS WITH HIM and his family.

Thank you!
