Help Support Jay & Karren Through Their Health Battles

Jay is fighting more than his fair share of health challenges. He has stage 4 kidney disease and is unfortunately ineligible for a transplant. On top of that, he lives with AFIB (irregular heartbeat), chronic severe lymphedema, Crohn’s disease (he’s already had over 18 inches of his intestines removed), neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, and struggles daily with being a high fall risk.

Each condition alone would be a major hurdle, but together they’ve made life extremely difficult—physically, emotionally, and financially. Despite everything, Jay continues to push forward with courage, but the burden is heavy.

His wife, Karren, is his only caregiver. She also faces health issues of her own, which makes this journey even harder for both of them. The stress of constant medical needs, limited mobility, and financial strain is overwhelming.

We’re raising funds to help cover medical expenses, treatments, and daily living costs so that Jay and Karren can focus on what matters most—managing their health and spending precious time together.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will directly support both Jay and Karren during this difficult time. Your kindness, generosity, and prayers mean more than words can say.
