Hubbard started the GoFundMe page to help Schulz's 4-year-old son, Cayden Richard. On the page, Hubbard fondly remembers her friend. 

"After spending the day with her beloved son going on adventures which included looking at cool old motorcycles (which they both adored) and playing with the new litter of puppy's at Peepaws house, she dropped off her sweet boy and went out on her bike," Hubbard wrote. 

Hubbard also wrote of Schulz's beloved son. 

"Anyone who knew Jackie (even the slightest bit) knew how much love and passion she had for life, but above all for her 4-year-old son Cayden Richard. Jackie was one of the best, patient, loving, 'cool moms' I had ever met," she wrote. 

Friends have raised over $18,000 on the GoFundMe in three days. 

Schulz was born in Danbury on Jan. 5, 1990, a daughter of Alain J. Schulz of Newtown and Donna (Gugliemetti) Schulz of Southbury. In addition to her parents and son, she is survived by two sisters, Kasey and Erica, both of Newtown; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. 

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing from Western Connecticut State University. She worked as an expediter at Kimchuk in Danbury. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Newtown Animal Center, P.O. Box 475, Newtown, CT 06470 or www.theanimalcenter.org.
