Jay and Gene Yasuda Support Fund

Donation protected
Dear Friends.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Our friend, Jay (Dailey Porcher) Yasuda is losing her long struggle for renewed quality of life and health following her liver transplant. The Hepatitis C has once again attacked her liver. Jay is now under hospice care, signaling that the end of her life is near.

Gene has been the rock by her side through all of this, lovingly caring for Jay and unselfishly providing a solid foundation for her children, Boone and Julia. As many of you know, Gene was laid off from his job a year ago, just about the time when Jay's transplanted liver began to signal that it, too, was succumbing to Hep C. Gene's profession of journalism is in chaos and longtime journalists, like Gene, have an uphill climb to reinvent themselves. While pursuing full time employment, Gene has thankfully been able to find freelance work to help bridge them financially. This has proven to be a blessing as it has provided Gene with some flexibility to help care for Jay as her health has deteriorated. Unfortunately, however, their financial pressures are mounting under insurmountable odds, both now and upon Jay's passing.

Throughout Jay's health odyssey, many of you have asked "what can I do?" You have rallied to provide meals or a note of encouragement. Your prayers have been a great source of comfort and strength. My purpose in reaching out today is to let you know that Jay and Gene really need financial support. Gene is far too proud to ask, but has agreed to allow me to do so. To the extent that you can make a contribution, small or large, to financially support their living, medical and burial expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!
