Support Jerry McKernan's Battle with Kidney Cancer

My name is Shannon and I am a niece of Jerry McKernan. I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support during a difficult time for my family. My uncle Jerry was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer in December 2024, and unfortunately, despite treatments, the disease has continued to progress significantly. We are all doing everything we can to support him through this challenging journey. Unfortunately, the medical expenses, treatments, and daily costs are becoming overwhelming, and we need your help to ensure that he can receive the best possible care and maintain some peace of mind during this time for himself and his wonderful wife Julie.

My uncle has always been someone you can count on, and now it’s our turn to be there for him.

The funds raised will go directly toward:

Medical treatments and doctor’s visits (including chemotherapy, medications, and any other necessary treatments)

Hospital stays and surgeries

Travel expenses for medical appointments

Everyday living expenses, as my uncle is currently unable to work due to his condition

No amount is too small, and every donation makes a difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with others to help spread the word. Your support, whether through a donation or simply by keeping my uncle in your thoughts and prayers, means more than words can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for your generosity during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and support are deeply appreciated.

With heartfelt thanks,

The McKernan family
