Help Launch a Veteran-Led Medical Rapid Response Unit

Donation protected

Hi, I'm Jose—founder of the JMMJ Organization, a U.S. Military Veteran, and most importantly, a grateful believer in Jesus Christ.

I don’t share this to persuade you, but so you can see my heart. I have an intense passion for helping people and sharing His love in every way I can—from supporting someone in a critical moment to simply making them smile.

Recently, I was blessed to finally acquire a vehicle platform I have dreamed of for years. But as I looked at it, I realized this blessing wasn't meant just for me.

While some might just see a vehicle, I saw a tool. Its specific design allows it to efficiently navigate tight routes and congestion where a bulky commercial van would struggle. Then it hit me... I realized it would be the perfect platform for dedicated rapid response medical transport—where every minute counts.

This realization, combined with my passion for helping people, led to the creation of the JMMJ Organization.

Why I Am Qualified
My military background is in specialized electronics maintenance (MOS 94Y, Class 001). I spent my service diagnosing and repairing critical systems for combat vehicles. I am applying that same technical discipline to this business—building a custom, fail-safe power system for medical transport that won't quit when it matters.

The Plan
I have already legally established the business and am currently working a day job in the insurance industry to fund the startup costs. However, to handle medical specimens safely and legally, I need to outfit the vehicle with specialized equipment.

Where Your Donation Goes
($3,500 Goal) Every penny raised acts as the "Startup Fuel" to get this service on the road safely and legally:

Active Cold Chain System ($700): Purchasing the cooling-chamber and the dedicated battery bank to keep insulin/specimens at exact stable temperatures.

Commercial Insurance & Liability ($1,500): Covering the substantial down payment for commercial courier insurance to ensure all medical cargo is fully insured and compliant.

Vehicle Reliability Fund ($800): Upgrading critical mechanical components (belts, cooling system, tires) to ensure 100% uptime for urgent deliveries.

Compliance & Licensing ($500): HIPAA Certifications, OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen training, and administrative filing fees.

How You Can Help If you would like to support this mission—whether through a donation, advice from your own experience, or just words of encouragement—I would be honored. I am doing this for our community, and I believe that with hard work and faith, this service will save lives.

Much love,

Jose M. Machado Jr. (JMMJ)
