<div>You are the best of what it is to be human and humane.
</div>
<div>Your kindness continues to move Jay forward, even now.
</div>
<div>And it will live on in our memories of this chapter forever.
</div>
<div>You are magic. ✨
</div>

</div>
<div>Hello friends and forever family &lt;3. Please take a moment in time with us to honor an angel who walked among us, giving the gift of life through boundless love. His spirit will live on in Jay, in every breath, every heartbeat, every activity and every tomorrow. 8/21/2025 ------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Healing isn’t cheap, but laughter is still free (thank goodness). :-)
</div>
<div>Jay came home 9/19/2025!!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you may know, we’re in the beginning of the middle of a big recovery journey. One of us is focused on healing—body, mind, and liver—while the other has taken an unpaid leave to play the role of full-time caregiver. Think nurse, chef, chauffeur, cheerleader, and occasionally stand-up comedian (the pay is terrible, but the audience still can't do much without monitoring and/or assistance).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations will go toward the essentials that insurance doesn’t fully cover:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Medical bills, therapy, and
</li>
<li>medication changes that insurance may not cover,
</li>
<li>home care items that make recovery a little smoother
</li>
<li>Healthy food (and yes, the occasional recovery nacho night)
</li>
<li>Travel back and forth to the hospital (one hour each way)
</li>
<li>Possible COBRA payments instead of just premiums
</li>
<li>Help to keeping the lights on while our, sister, Kim, takes a leave from work and assumes the caregiver role —unpaid
</li>
</ul>
<div>Every bit helps—whether it’s covering a month of Ensure shakes, keeping us stocked with protein chips, or just making sure our Kim can keep telling bad jokes instead of worrying about the unexpected bills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of our recovery team. Your kindness helps keep us going, one laugh (and one donation) at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt thanks, we are so blessed to walk this road surrounded by such kindness and care. And we look forward to the day when is strong Jay is strong enough to enjoy the simple joys again—sharing meals, taking walks, DRIVING and living life fully. Your support makes that future possible.
</div>

<div><strong>Asking for help is never easy</strong>, but here it goes:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Son, Little Brother, Older Brother, Uncle, Friend, Boy Scout, FurrDad, Nature Lover, Camping Enthusiast, Artist, Movie Maker •
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Kim, Jay’s (Jaymo) oldest (and most annoying) sister and his primary care person. Krystal is the youngest sister and is his secondary care-person as well as entertainment director and supreme maker of tacos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We picked <strong>Jaymo’s ONE-YEAR SOBER anniversary </strong>to post a GoFundMe because, quite honestly, it’s been a year for Jay, and we'd like to <strong>celebrate this milestone with you</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Memorial Day Weekend 2024</strong>, Jaymo walked into an <strong>ER in Dover</strong> with super leg swelling, with skin and eyes that were jaundiced; <strong>Jay’s last alcoholic drink was Memorial Day Weekend 2024.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>May 31, 2024, Jaymo was diagnosed with Alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver with ascites and Thrombocytopenia.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More of Jay’s story is below, but, before we jump into that, it’s important to know, upfront, how your donation will shape Jay’s current and future care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>100% of your donation</strong> will go towards
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	<strong>A full-size bed with adjustable platform.</strong> Today, Jay is fine, he has a regular bed but after surgery it’ll be important for him to NOT use his stomach muscles or lay flat, for a bit, the adjustable platform is recommended to keep him elevated and allows his care people to swing his legs off to the side to help him stand.
</div>
<div>•	<strong>An electric recliner. </strong> Much like the bed situation, having this special recliner will allow him to comfortably press a button to raise and lower the foot rest of the chair because he will not be allowed to push or pull anything for quick some time.
</div>
<div>•	Provide Jay with additional
</div>
<div>o	<strong>Dental work</strong> – this is a requirement that are required before his evaluation approval <em>Jay has not been to a dentist in over 15 years</em>
</div>
<div>o	<strong>Therapy appointment </strong>payments that are required – Lahey Hospital encourages, as part of the transplant evaluation requirements, that anyone under 5 years sober to attend therapy
</div>
<div>o	money for his weekly <strong>insurance premium payments</strong>
</div>
<div>o	<strong>Various strength training devices</strong> – for Jay to overcome muscle wasting he needs various weights as his strength improves
</div>
<div>o	<strong>Unexpected medical expenses </strong>– we’ve been told to prepare for medical supplies and other expenses that could come up during and after transplant
</div>
<div>o	<strong>Additional medications</strong> – the medications that were presented during the evaluation process are expensive and may have to be paid for out of pocket for a time should the hospital and insurance fight over coverage
</div>
<div>o	<strong>Any other addition expenses</strong> set forth in his Evaluation package to be received at the beginning of June
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Help his Sisters </strong>
</div>
<div>o	with groceries, paper products and other personal items (for Jay)– Jay has very specific nutritional goals which include a lot of fresh meat/fish/poultry, vegetables and fruits
</div>
<div>o	Buy clothing &amp; Shoes for Jay (this will be super important before he goes in and when he is in recovery)
</div>
<div>o	Put gas in Kim &amp; Krystals cars – lots of appointment equals a lot of gas
</div>
<div>o	Pay parking fees (the hospital/insurance does not validate and costs upwards of $12 a day per car)
</div>
<div>o	Buy food during current and future hospital stays
</div>
<div>o	Help with a hotel room for as long as needed, that is close to Lahey Burlington when his Transplant is scheduled – this is strongly recommended by the evaluation team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation won’t fix Jays liver, only a transplant can do that, BUT it will contribute to his overall current and future success to recover and get him back to work and doing the things he loves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>#JaymosLiver</strong>
</div>
<div>As Jay approaches his ONE-YEAR SOBER anniversary, the year also brought newer conditions of his disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	Chronic Fatigue, resulting in a long leave from his job
</div>
<div>•	Hepatic Encephalopathy, he no longer is allowed to drive
</div>
<div>•	Jaundice, almost always
</div>
<div>•	Variceal Bleeding in two locations, on several occasions
</div>
<div>•	Edema, chronic and at times very itchy and painful
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, Jay has <strong>Stage 4 Decompensated Liver</strong>, which is considered<strong> “complete &amp; permanent liver failure”.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The only solution to this is a liver transplant</strong>. He has <strong>O blood type</strong>, so he is only able to accept a liver or lobe of liver from an <strong>O person.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past year, Jay has been <strong>hospitalized about a dozen times</strong>. Each time something new presents itself, unfortunately, it’s the progression of the disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Countless endoscopies, varices banded, colonoscopies (yes, varices banded down there too); Jay had no choice but to have this ALL done without full anesthesia due to his abnormally low blood pressure which is caused by the disease and medications he takes every day. Imagine being partially awake for not just one but MANY of these procedures in a 12-month time period.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s had to have a <strong>transfusion of platelets</strong>, more than once, because he can’t make them like a normal person.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In October of 2024, the disease was getting to the point where the word <strong>“transplant”</strong> was being thrown around a lot more often when visiting the PCP, Hepatology, and Gastroenterology group in Concord NH– he was referred to Lahey Transplant Center in Burlington, MA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>October 18, 2024, Jay was referred to Beth Israel-Lahey Health</strong> and his first visit was 10/31/2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>As of 5/14/2025</strong> Jay started his next chapter, and journey, he is on his way to <strong>completing the Evaluation Appointments at BI/LH to go before the Transplant Review Board to be “listed”.</strong> We still have a way to go and will more than likely have a “Jay to-do-list” of items he needs completed before that happens but at least we are on our way.
</div>
<div>__________________________________________________________
</div>
<div>Jay is a good, kind-hearted, kid. I can say kid because he’s my younger brother lol. His sense of humor (albeit a little dark at times) keeps him and others around him young. He is a rather old soul with old world values and loyalty. He never has much to say, but when he does you always want to listen because it’s either hilarious or mind blowing, but mostly he just smiles and nods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, <strong>Jay had to take leave of work due to complications </strong>with various ongoing symptoms of his Cirrhosis and increasing stages of Hepatic encephalopathy symptoms. Thankfully, we are managing symptoms with a couple of medications that pull ammonia from the brain, but <strong>he won't be able to work or drive </strong>until he is healed and cleared by his transplant team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As those that know Jay well, this was rather devastating, because Jay is a workhorse, always has been – even in his days of Boy Scouting at Wah-tut-ca or working on various theatre sets or helping his family and friends wherever needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even though he has his struggles, what you and I accomplish in 20 minutes it may take him two hours, but he finishes what he started and never complains. A decompensated liver is not going to keep Jaymo down and he’ll never speak of defeat, his words “what’s the point in that, I’m still living, so it takes a little longer, no biggie”.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This kid is a fighter and me and my sister, Krystal and the rest of the siblings, are all in 100% for him!</strong>
</div>
<div>_________________________________________________________
</div>
<div>He now lives with me, Kim, his most annoying sibling. Krystal is the entertainment director and supreme maker of tacos!!! Jay’s other siblings Rob and Tami may be a bit further away, but they are always here in spirit. His friend Jess is in constant contact with him and brings a sense of joy to the social aspect that, is at, times missing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is all still new to everyone involved and Jay is teaching us daily that it’ll all be "okay".
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve read this far, we are blessed to call you friend. We appreciate you reading his story and we invite you to look for updates as they come – we’ve still got a road ahead of us and no road signs to help us out!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reach out to me, Kim, the most annoying sister or Jay and we can answer any questions you have!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude and gratefulness – the Moore kiddos THANK YOU!
</div>
