Jared is a devoted single dad who means the world to his daughters. He never misses an activity or a game, always cheering them on and making sure they know how much he cares. His oldest daughter, just 22, works hard to help keep their household going, while his youngest is in her second semester of college. Jared is also a caring son, helping to look after his own mother, who has health issues of her own.

Recently, Jared was sick on and off for over a week, thinking it was just a viral infection. When his symptoms worsened, he returned to the hospital and received the devastating news that he was in kidney failure. He was immediately put on a ventilator and sedated, and he remains in the ICU at Buffalo General Hospital. This sudden crisis has turned life upside down for his family, who are now facing not only emotional stress but also mounting bills and daily challenges.

Jared has always been the first to help others—he would give the shirt off his back to someone in need, and he loved coaching his girls through all their sports. Now, his family needs help with paying for bills, hospital stays, medical supplies, and getting the girls back and forth to see their dad every day. Any support for Jared and his daughters during this difficult time would mean so much. Your kindness can help ease their burden and show them they’re not alone.
