Spread Hope: Eric Moy Needs a Kidney Donor

Welcome — and Thank You for Being Here

My name is Jackie Moy, and I created this page for my husband, Eric Moy — a devoted father, husband, and lifelong public servant — who urgently needs a kidney transplant.

Eric has spent his life giving to others — quietly, consistently, and without ever asking for anything in return. After 9/11, he volunteered as an auxiliary police officer in Rye, NY — a role he has faithfully carried out for over 20 years. He’s coached youth teams, supported schools, helped lead community efforts, and always shown up when others needed him.

Giving has always been part of who we are. In my early 20s, I had the opportunity to donate bone marrow to a stranger in need. Today, we find ourselves on the other side — humbly asking for help to save Eric’s life.

Eric’s kidneys are now failing due to complications from diabetes and a long medical battle following sepsis. Dialysis will begin soon — but a living kidney transplant is the only real solution.

We are not asking for money. We are using GoFundMe because it is a powerful and proven way to spread awareness — to tell Eric’s story, reach a wider community, and hopefully connect with someone who may be willing to consider becoming a living kidney donor. If you can help by getting tested, sharing this page, or simply passing along his story, we are deeply grateful.

I’m asking for help — not just for Eric, but for our family, and for all the meaningful moments we still hope to share together: holidays, graduations, college move-in day, and family dinners.

Your support brings hope — and brings Eric one step closer to healing.

Eric’s Story

Eric Moy is a devoted husband, father, son, friend, and beloved member of both the Rye and Greenwich communities.

Born and raised in Rye, NY, Eric has remained a constant presence there — serving the town, coaching local teams, and helping run his family’s business, Fong’s Cleaners, which has been part of the Rye community since the 1950s. Since 2001, he and I have lived in Greenwich, CT, where we’ve raised our children and built a life rooted in family, service, and community. We’ve been married for 24 years.

After the September 11th attacks, Eric joined the Rye Auxiliary Police, where he has served faithfully for more than two decades. It was never for recognition — he simply felt called to help.

Eric is an athlete at heart. He taught himself tennis and became a ranked USTA player, while also excelling in lacrosse and wrestling at Rye High School. As a lacrosse goalie, he played at SUNY Albany and continued competing in local leagues throughout the tri-state area. He later joined Team Israel’s Masters team, earning MVP honors in an international tournament in 2019. From 2016 to 2020, he also played with Touch of Grey. Even in sports, Eric found ways to give back — organizing the Rye High School alumni lacrosse fundraiser game to support scholarships and cancer research.

His service didn’t stop there. He sat on the Rye Flood Committee (2017–2023), was a board member of the Rye Presbyterian Nursery School, and served as a Deacon at Rye Presbyterian Church. His family’s business, Fong’s Cleaners — a true three-generation small business — proudly provided services to the local police, fire, and EMT departments for decades, with Eric and his parents working side by side, six days a week.

Professionally, Eric interned with the NY Rangers’ public relations department during college, coached the girls lacrosse team at Rye High School (leading them to the state championship), worked in banking at Bank of New York, and later returned to help run Fong’s Cleaners with his family.

Eric and I have two children: Max (18) and Molly (13).

Max will be starting college at Syracuse University this fall — a milestone he worked incredibly hard for, earning scholarships through his dedication and grit. Molly, a rising high schooler, is doing everything she can to stay on the honor roll and make her dad proud.

Eric has always been deeply involved in their lives — cheering at games, applauding at school plays, encouraging their passions, and cooking his signature prime rib or deep-frying the Thanksgiving turkey. He is truly the heartbeat of our family.

Eric’s Health Journey

Eric was diagnosed with diabetes in his early 20s and managed it for years. But in 2021, after Hurricane Ida brought three feet of floodwater into the family store, he contracted sepsis during the cleanup.

Over the years that followed, he endured multiple surgeries, particularly on his foot, and battled ongoing infections and trauma. The strain led to chronic kidney disease, and now his kidney function has dropped to just 10%.

In March 2025, he was hospitalized for surgery. By April, emergency room doctors told him dialysis might be imminent. He is now being evaluated as a top-priority transplant candidate.

Dialysis will only buy time. A living kidney donor is his only real path forward.

Despite everything, Eric continues to show up — for his family, for his future. He holds on to his dignity, his strength, and his optimism even through pain and fatigue. It’s not easy to ask for help — especially something of this magnitude — but I’m doing so on his behalf. Because Eric still has so much more life to live.

Many of Eric’s hospitalizations have overlapped with holidays or birthdays — moments that should have been filled with celebration, not crisis. But those moments have also deepened our resolve. We want those struggles to mean something. We want to turn hardship into hope.

Eric is fighting for time — to see Max off to Syracuse, to help Molly thrive in high school, to keep cooking, cheering, loving, and giving. And we are fighting right beside him.

If you can help — by learning more, getting tested, or simply sharing his story — we are profoundly grateful.

Your support brings hope. Your action brings possibility. And your kindness brings life.
