Tony is a loving husband, son and brother. He is a very independent thinker which comes from his strong engineering background. He has been able to keep his optimism even though every day is a struggle with being on oxygen 24 hours a day. Before becoming ill, he was an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing and karate. He enjoys cooking and spending time with the family.
Transplants are lifesaving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Tony is facing very high expenses including travel and temporary relocation to Philadelphia for several weeks to be closer to Temple University Hospital, costly post-transplant medications which he will have to take for the rest of his life, co-pays, lab fees, and more.
To help with the financial burden of Tony’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the New York Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution.
Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity.
Gratefully,
Eileen M. DePaula, Tony’s sister-in-law
