Help Hope Live for Jack Beeman
Family and friends of Jack Beeman are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with a Kidney Transplant. Jack has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because donations are tax deductible for contributors and will only be used to cover medical and related expenses.

Last year Jack was inducted into the Holton High School Hall of Fame for his wrestling and football career. Jack graduated from Holton in 1993. Jack went on to build a family and worked various jobs over the years. Jack continued his athletic career as a MMA fighter and he was ranked 3rd as a heavyweight in Michigan. Jack played a couple seasons as a Semi-Pro football player for the West Michigan Storm football team. Jack spent many years as a bouncer and worked his way up to head of security. Jack managed a local pub where he has many friends that fondly remember him. Jack spent the last 9 1/2 years as a Bail Bondsmen and now he is a 3rd Shift Production supervisor for a local automotive company. Jack is married and he and his wife enjoy camping, hanging with friends and quiet nights at home with their 3 dogs and bearded dragon. Jack has 3 sons, 2 stepsons and 2 stepdaughters. Between Jack and his wife, they have 8 grandchildren with another on the way. Jack has found a new love for gardening and enjoys boating and fishing.

Jack is being admitted into the hospital today, 8/21/2025 to start life-saving dialysis. We've waited as long as we can, but his kidneys are shutting down. He has been extremely sick the last few weeks. He has been suffering from nausea and vomiting, along with major fluctuations with water retention. He was in the ER about a week and a half ago with about 35 pounds of water on him. He insisted on being released and upping his water meds once they determined his heart wasn't under any strain so that he could be with me during my kidney donation surgery. I've struggled for months with making the decision to increase the campaign amount, but I also realize that this isn't about the amount. The donations we've received are going to be a huge help in Jack's life-long road to recovery. Thank you to all of our friends, family and supporters. If you are interested in becoming a kidney donor, please do not hesitate to ask for more information. I'm just over a week post donation and my recovery has been so much easier than I ever expected.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for making Jack's benefit and campaign a huge success! The outpouring of love and support has been simply incredible and we couldn't have done any of this without our friends and family. Once we find a kidney for Jack, he will need to take anti-rejection medication for the rest of his life. The monies raised for his campaign are going to help so much with his out-of-pocket medical expenses, especially while Jack is off work and healing. We are forever grateful for all of you and beyond humbled to have so many amazing people in our corner. Love always, The Beeman's

Jack, I remember wrestling you in High School. You impressed me with your determination and effort. You were the victor the last time we wrestled. I hope you will be the victor in this fight as well, for this could happen to any of us. Good luck!

I’ve had kidney issues in the past and I know how brutal that can be. Keep up the fight!
