Hi, my name is Pat Jackson, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult chapters our family has ever faced. My wife, Noralyn Jackson, is preparing for a life-saving kidney transplant. While we’re incredibly grateful for this chance at a healthier future, the emotional and financial challenges are more than we can manage alone.

Noralyn is the strongest person I know. She is a devoted Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who spends her days helping others through their toughest moments. She approaches every person with compassion, patience, and deep empathy — even while quietly battling her own health struggles.

But most importantly, she is the loving mother of our daughter, Harper. Harper adores her mom, and throughout this journey, Noralyn has done everything she can to stay present, loving, and engaged, even on days when the fatigue and treatments make that incredibly hard. Our family is holding onto the hope that this transplant will give her the strength and health she deserves — and give Harper her vibrant, energetic mom back.

As we move forward with this transplant, we’re facing many significant expenses:

    •    Surgery and hospital bills

    •    Expensive anti-rejection and post-transplant medications

    •    Frequent follow-up appointments, labs, and specialized testing

    •    Loss of income, as both of us will be away from work during her recovery

    •    Travel, lodging, and related transplant-care costs

Even with insurance, the uncovered medical and living expenses are overwhelming. That’s why I’m humbly asking for help — from friends, family, our community, and anyone moved by Noralyn’s story.

Every donation, no matter the amount, goes directly toward her surgery, medications, and recovery. And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page makes a world of difference.

Thank you for reading our story. Thank you for supporting Noralyn, for giving our family hope, and for helping ensure that Harper’s mom gets the healthy future she deserves.

With love and gratitude,

Pat Jackson
