A Message from the Heart: Help Us Support Jermaine

Our family is going through one of the most difficult journeys we've ever faced. My husband, Jermaine, 43 years young is fighting a battle with cancer that has taken both of his kidneys. He now undergoes dialysis three times a week just to stay alive, all while continuing to work a full-time job. His strength and determination are nothing short of heroic—but the toll it's taking on his body and spirit is growing heavier each day.

Jermaine often feels sick throughout the day. Some days, he struggles just to breathe. Despite his resilience, the physical and emotional weight of this fight is overwhelming. We are doing everything we can, but the cost of medical equipment—much of which insurance won't cover—is adding to the burden.

We are reaching out to our community, friends, and kind-hearted strangers for help. Jermaine is trying to get on the kidney donor list, and we are urgently looking for living donors who may be willing to get tested to see if they are a match. A single act of generosity could give Jermaine a second chance at life.

If you or someone you know would consider being tested as a potential kidney donor, or if you can help in any way—through donations, sharing this message, or offering resources—we would be forever grateful.

Please keep Jermaine in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit of support brings us closer to hope, healing, and a future where he can breathe easy again.

With love and gratitude,

Karen Best
