Jason grew up in Jasper, Indiana and graduated from Jasper High School. He went on to the ITT Technical Institute where he studied Tool Engineering and then went on to study Automated Manufacturing. Jason has been working at OFS Brands for almost 18 years as a Special Concept Engineer. He has been married for over 17 years to his loving and supportive wife, Mecinda and they have 2 sons, Jordan and Colton.

Jason’s sister, Jennifer, will be donating one of her kidneys to Jason through a living kidney donor transplant. Funding this life saving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by health insurance: co-pays and deductibles, medical bills, transplant testing, donor expenses and Jason’s travel and lodging expenses to Indianapolis are quickly adding up. Jason will also be required to take costly post-transplant anti-rejection medications for the rest of his life. These out-of-pocket expenses are adding up to more than the Baker family can handle alone.

To help with the financial burden of Jason’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his name has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Great Lakes Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Jason’s struggle. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of Jason and his family, we thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Gratefully,

The family of Jason Baker, Jay.baker37@gmail.com
