Our dear friend Gary Haar has been and unwavering supporter of the George Lopez Foundation, but today he needs our strength and support in return. Gary has been battling Polycystic Kidney Disease, and time is of the essence and he is in desperate need of a kidney donor to save his life.

In the spirit of compassion and solidarity let us rally together as a community and show Gary the same love and support he has selflessly given to others. Share this post, spread the word, and let’s make sure Gary’s plea reaches the hearts of those who can make a difference. Your kindness can be the beacon of hope that lights up his path to recovery.

Thank you and with heartfelt gratitude,
