Debra Jones and her children, Isabella and Jordan, came to The Children’s Room in 2004 after her husband Gary died suddenly of a heart attack. Tonight their ongoing challenges are chronicled on the TV show “Losing it With Jillian” airing on channel 7 at 10:00 pm.
In the past year Debra has been diagnosed with diabetes and lives with the fear of leaving her two children without a parent. She knows she needs to start taking care of herself and is seeking help through this program.
As the sole breadwinner for her family, Debra works long hours and is finding it more and more difficult to juggle responsibilities. Increasingly she is relying on her 12-year-old daughter, who is beginning to feel like a “mini-mom.”
We admire the willingness of Debra and her children to open up and confront their very personal challenges, and hope that this program will help them as they bravely struggle to resolve some difficult issues in their lives.
Watch tonight as Jillian spends one week with the Jones family, in an effort to change their lives for the better.
