X17 XCLUSIVE - Randy Jackson Donates $60K To Save Girl's Life
Posted on Wed May 26, 2010 12:26 PM PDT
Randy Jackson, Michael's youngest brother, is donating $60,000 in the hopes of saving 11-year-old Treasure Dearsaw's life. While visiting Treasure at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Randy tells X17online exclusively, "I just want to see her smile."
Treasure suffers from a rare condition called vascular malformation, in which a lesion on her tongue has become a life-threatening disease. The mass on her tongue swells and bleeds, preventing her from being able to close her mouth, eat and talk. Doctors are monitoring her condition closely because if her tongue swells too much, it could close her airway causing her to choke to death. Doctors have told Treasure’s mom, that the removal of her daughter’s tongue would solve the problem, but she is doing everything she can to prevent having to go this route.
As for how he learned of Treasure's condition, Randy tells us:
- “I was driving back from Santa Barbara, and because I was tired, I checked into a hotel. TV is something I never watch, but for some reason, I decided to watch the news. I saw a story about Treasure Dearsaw and her fight with a rare disease on her tongue. In order to have an important surgery, she needed to raise $60,000, but a fundraiser set up for her only brought in a few thousand. Her story tugged at my heart, and I knew what I wanted to do.”
Treasure's mom, Chelsa, says that her young daughter has already undergone nine procedures. "Mom, I'm afraid I'm going to die," is a phrase that Chelsa tells us she can't bear to hear anymore.
Randy adds, "No child should be afraid that they’re going to die. It breaks my heart to see her suffering like that. Treasure’s a beautiful child, and it was God’s plan for me to see her story and help out. This is the least I can do. She deserves to be happy.”
Treasure is expected to undergo her 10th surgery later this summer.
Kudos to Randy. We hope the surgery is a success for Treasure!

I'm kind of cynical when it comes to the Jackson family, but this is a wonderful story. I hope that little girl has a successful surgery and happy life.
BULL SHIT!!!! CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR LOST CHILDREN, WHO HAVE TO BEG THEIR GRANDMOTHER FOR EVERY PENNY AND FREE LOADING ON MICHEAL'S MONEY WHICH LEADS ME TO THE QUESTION OF HOW YOU GOT $60,000. UPS OH YOU DID GET PAID AFTER THREATING EXPOSE HIM IF HE DOESN'T GIVE YOU $$$. WE SEE THROUGH YOUR BULL SHIT. HOW DID YOU GET THIS MONEY ????? IS THE GUITY OF IT LEADING YOU TO DO SUCH STAGED PHOTO SHOTS. THE DAY YOU THAT MONEY IS NOT YOUR GOD, IS WHEN YOU WILL WAKE UP. YOU AND JERMAIN HAVE TRIED SO HARD TO BE MICHAEL, BUT YOU WILL NEVER EVER HAVE HIS PURE HEART. YOU ALL NEED TO CLEANSE YOUR FITHY SPIRITS. I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS YOU SICK BOYS. START TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND RAISING YOUR OWN CHILDREN YOU MOTHER SHOULD BE ENJOYING LIFE NOT LOOKING AFTER THIS STUPID DADS WHO ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO SLEEP WITH THE SAME GIRL GGGRROOOOOSSSS. GET A LIFE RANDY AND JERMAIN STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE MICHAEL HE WAS I A CLASS OF HIS OWN
RANDY IS SOOOOOOOOOOO FOONNNY GET A LIFE BIG LOSE. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT MONEY?? EVEN IN DEATH YOU ARE STILL STILLING FROM HIM. THAT FAMILY BETTER GRAB THE MONEY AND RUN, THIS BOY IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND HE IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIE. RUN, RUN, RUN RANDY HAS NO INTEGRETY.
Such a heart warming story. To the little girl's family, get the money up front, because once the camera's are off Randy will be trying to find another publicist stunt. Randy take care of your own children, we call Dad's like you LOSERS. You should be spoiling your Mother instead of begging and stealing from her. YOU NEED TO ALSO CHECK INTO REHAB, then get a job instead of taking from Michael's three children.

Why you hating on Randy, you know nothing about his business. Where have you read that he didn't take care of his children. His children are not complaining so mind your own business.
The mother of this girl will take his money no question and yours and everybody elses, that's what oppertunist do. She went on the news for exposure not for her daughter but for herself (sad) She is a seducer and speaks lamentable jargon. She is a black witch that deals with spells... watch out, wolf in sheep clothing!!Beware of false prophets!!
