Help Jeremy Get the Life-Changing Surgery He Deserves

My name is Paul Marlin, and I'm fundraising for my dear friend Jeremy—an incredible father, husband, and one of the most selfless people I’ve ever known.

I’ve known Jeremy for 25 years. He’s the guy who always shows up—for his family, friends, and community. He’s a devoted dad to five amazing kids, two with ongoing health challenges, and he’s never asked for anything in return.

Now Jeremy needs our help.

He’s struggled with his weight since childhood, and it’s taken a toll on his health. He now faces a life-changing decision: to undergo bariatric surgery that could drastically improve his quality of life. It’s a chance for him to regain his health and continue being the rock his family relies on.

Jeremy works full-time while caring for his kids. When his wife’s health declined, he took on everything—cooking, school runs, parenting, and more—without complaint. But the strain is catching up with him, and this surgery represents hope: for a healthier future, more years with his children, and the strength to keep doing what he does best loving and supporting his family.

We’re raising $20,000 to help cover surgery and hospital costs. Every dollar counts—whether you give $5 or $500, you’re making a difference.

From Jeremy’s wife: “Jeremy took on everything when I couldn’t. This surgery would give him the chance to stay strong for us. I want him around for a long, long time.”

Let’s show up for Jeremy like he’s always shown up for us. Please donate and share. 💛
