Kidney disease has changed the life of Jack Beeman and his wife, Jennifer – but thanks to the community’s support, a transplant could be within reach to restore hope and health.

Jack is well-known in his local community for his feats as a former MMA fighter, wrestler, and football player. Now, Jack is facing what he says is his greatest fight of all.

“It saps all your energy. It changes your diet, I had to change jobs…it changes everything.”

Fundraising with Help Hope Live is a key ingredient for Jack’s journey to a life-changing kidney transplant.

Following a fundraiser in June and an interview with a local TV station, Jack’s campaign has exceeded their first fundraising goal.

“Honestly, this has been a really long road, and a lot of planning has gone into it,” explained Jennifer.

“We’re able to see all of our family and community coming together to support Jack.”
