I look forward to watching and participating in my two grandsons (ages 4 & 5) growth and development over the years. My youngest daughter will also be attending college on a potential basketball scholarship while carrying a 4.0 GPA. Her goal is to play basketball professionally and I look forward to attending those games.

Your donations will help me get through the kidney transplant with minimal stress over financial requirements before and after surgery. Any donations will allow me to obtain post surgery medications which are very expensive.

Through your donations, my acceptance as a potential kidney transplant candidate and eventually receiving a kidney transplant, my life would have the opportunity to return to a somewhat normal life without being tied to a dialysis center and schedule three times a week.

Family and friends of James Hawthorne Jr are raising money for through Help Hope Live (a nonprofit organization) to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with my transplant.

I have elected to fundraise through Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure their donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
