GoFundMe; YouTube Influencer Jenny Appleford Age, Biography, Death

YouTube star Jenny Appleford has never smoked — but the California mom-of-two has terminal lung cancer.

Two weeks ago, the 36-year-old was told she had less than a year to live — and she knew she had to break the news to her children.

“We understand science, we understand higher power,” Kyle Appleford, Jenny’s spouse, said in a YouTube video announcing the heartbreaking news.

While they aren’t “giving up” just yet — after all, “miracles happen,” said Jenny — they are also “realistic” after doctors gave the family a timeline of just six to nine months.

“We’ve known from the minute we got this diagnosis that lung cancer is an absolute beast of a cancer,” Kyle continued.

The couple share son, Ellis, seven, and daughter Winnie, three, and sat the children down to tell them the heartbreaking news.

Jenny and Kyle released a video, titled “We Told The Kids I’m Dying,” which detailed their offsprings’ reaction.

“We talked about how the cancer is getting bigger and stronger, finding more places to go and hide to where we can’t get it and they both started breaking down instantly,” Kyle stated, adding that the conversation made him “sick to my stomach.”

“We told them that the doctor told us about six to nine months. Ellis was very much clinging onto this idea that there could be a miracle.”

The seven-year-old purportedly told his parents that he was hoping he was “having a bad dream.”

“‘It takes a lot of courage to be honest with them because it’s a scary thing to say but this is the route we took and I’m glad we did it,” Kyle said, defending he and Jenny’s parenting decision.
