Greetings! My name is Nakia McCloud, and I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of my father, Coach McCloud. If anyone knows Coach McCloud, they know he has spent countless hours doing whatever he possibly can to help the youth. With a career that's consisted of winning state championships, assisting athletes in their collegiate recruitment, and preparing at-risk students to enter the workforce, he has always been there when he's needed most. Despite struggling with chrons disease for over 30 years, he has never let it stop him from being a loving husband and father of three. He continues to put family first and stays rooted in God's word.

In August of 2025, Coach McCloud was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. This came as a complete surprise, and it has kept him from returning to work since the start of the school year. Since he has completed all the necessary requirements to land himself on the list for a kidney transplant, the final step is getting a new kidney so he can return to helping the community in the best way he knows how: through its future.

In fulfilling his desire to continue making the world a better place, we need your help. Spreading the word, contributing financially, or even praying for him and our family would mean so much. We know that between Lancaster, Rock Hill, and the coaching communities he's touched, there is an infinite amount of love for him, and he will always reciprocate that regardless of the circumstances.

From the McCloud family to yours, thank you.
