I hope this message finds you well. My name is Julie Russian, I’m Jack Rowland's mother. I want to thank everyone for their phone calls, support, sympathy, and kind words. It meant the world to me to be supported by the community during this most difficult time and unimaginable time.

I am writing to ask for your help with something that has become deeply personal and urgent in my life — Jack and Irene’s WISH House.

After recently losing Jack in a tragic accident, I feel called to create something good from that grief- a safe, loving home for others who need care and compassion. Jack and Irene’s WISH House will be a small, residential assisted living home for people who can’t live alone but don’t need to be placed in a nursing facility. Irene was my grandmother who was an RN, who passed away at the age of 94. She worked with legislatures to ensure patients were cared for properly and treated with dignity. I'd like to carry out Jack's legacy and Irene's mission under one roof.

It won’t be an institution — it’ll be a true home, built on kindness, dignity, and personalized care. We already have the vision, the mission, and community support. What we need now is a house — a place where we can begin to bring that vision to life.

I have a property in mind that is PERFECT for Jack and Irene's WISH House mission!

I believe in the positive impact it will have on our community, and I’m hoping you might be able to help me make everyone's WISHes come true!

This is more than a project. It’s a mission to honor love, life, and the power of healing through care. It is a true purpose for the community. I have added Jack and Irene's current social media and donation description below. I currently have an active LLC and applied for a 501c3 (non-profit). I have also attached the benefit being held at the Tontogany American Legion below. I thank you for your time, support, and encouragement.

With gratitude,

Julie Russian, RN, VA-BC

💛 A Legacy of Love: Jack & Irene

This home is dedicated to two special people.

Jack Rowland, age 18, of Perrysburg, Ohio, who tragically passed away on May 24, 2025. Jack was known for his kindness, strength, and unwavering care for others.

Jack's beloved great-grandmother Irene Beaudry, a Registered Nurse, focused her attention in the 1960s and 1970s advocating that patients be treated with dignity for better long term care— meeting with legislators, leading with compassion, and providing individualized nursing care to the elderly.

Now, Jack’s generous spirit and Irene’s lifelong mission come together under one roof — a legacy of love, care, and advocacy.

🙏 Help Us Bring Jack and Irene’s Vision to Life

In honor of Jack’s life and in memory of Irene’s tireless dedication, we invite you to support Jack and Irene’s WISH House.

With love and thanks,

Jack and Irene’s WISH House, LLC
