Big Mike Jax Kidney Transplant Fundraiser

Donation protected
Hi, Im Kevin and I'm re-opening this fundraiser for my good friend and brother Michael "BIG MIKE" Jackson. In 2024, he started in home dialysis. This coming after an unsuccessful search for a replacement kidney. His health has continued to deteriorate over the years, as he awaited a donor. His wife Lidia has been supporting their beautiful family along the way.

I'm thrilled to share that Mike has a kidney donor confirmed and his transplant process is starting!!! HIS WAIT IS OVER!!!!

About the Donor(s) - Catherine & Steven McPherson, an amazing husband & wife from Atlanta Georgia, have been following Mikes story since day 1 of his social media campaign. Manifesting a kidney from the universe. The McPhersons are both blood type O, just like Mike, and will be each other's Support Person through the Kidney donation process. Steven is on his last step of localized testing! As soon The Mcpherson's complete this step, they will fly to San Francisco for final testing to confirm who will be the right person for the Kidney Donation. From there, The McPhersons will go back to ATL as Mike's Dr and Insurance complete their process.

Our goal is to raise $50K to help with covering the following costs

  • Travel & Accommodations for The McPhersons(Testing & Surgery)
  • Travel & Accommodations for Mike & Lidia(Testing & Surgery)
  • Living expenses for 6 weeks for Steven(recovery time after saving a life)
  • Living expenses for 6 weeks for Catherine(time off from work to support)
  • Living expenses for 3-6 months for Mike & Lidia(needed for Mike's recovery)

Mike is an amazing person that would do anything to support his friends and family. He is always shining bright and remains positive even in this time of need. He is gracious and his love is felt by those around him. We are lucky to have him in our lives.

To our brothers and sisters that aren't able to contribute monetarily... Your positivity, message amplification and well wishes mean so much. Thank you so much for the support. We love you Mike!!!
