The Fox family.

Our dad, Jerry Fox, has dedicated his life to supporting his family, helping others in his community, and making the world a better place. He is a great example of an ordinary and selfless man who does extraordinary things. To our family and community he is a true inspiration. Dad is a very caring, compassionate, thoughtful, and generous man who has a zest for life and uplifting attitude that he continues to maintain, despite his kidney failure.

Jerry is a dedicated teacher, educating and nurturing disadvantaged elementary students in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program, providing them an opportunity to reach their maximum potential and achieve the American Dream.

Jerry’s work supports his family, including his oldest daughter Rachel, who is 41 years old and severely handicapped with Rett Syndrome, a debilitating disease requiring full-time care and assistance. Dad and mom are Rachel’s full time care-takers. A large part of dad’s days are devoted to caring for our sister Rachel; carrying her up and down stairs, bathing her, and changing her diapers.

Because of kidney failure, his ability to perform routine tasks (caring for Rachel, teaching students, etc.) has greatly diminished.

Our entire family wishes to donate to him, but for medical reasons, we are unable to do so. If you or anyone you know may be willing to donate a kidney, please contact Renewal, a leading and experienced non-profit organization that matches kidney donors with recipients. Please reference Jerry Fox’s code (R822) when contacting Renewal by phone or email (718-431-9831; [email protected]).

Renewal’s website is www.renewal.org. All inquiries to Renewal are strictly confidential and without any obligation. Renewal can put you in touch with others who donated a kidney and are happy to share their experiences. All medical costs are covered by the recipient (our dad’s) insurance and loss of wages (with limitations) may be covered by Renewal.

Please help save dad’s life, so that he may continue caring for us, teaching his students and making further positive and lasting contributions to his community for decades to come.
