Ken Garland is a 59-year-old man whose life took a big turn when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cirrhosis. Ken has been told that a liver transplant would be his only option for a chance to live a longer and healthy life. However, he is in need of our help. The cost of a transplant can be overwhelming.
Ken grew up in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma and graduated from Duncan High School in 1975. He attended Cameron University. Shortly after beginning college, Ken decided to join the oil industry where he started as a floor hand on an oil rig. After many years of hard work and experience, Ken went on to become a consultant in the oil field. It is this resolve that helps him hold onto the hope of a transplant, a second chance at life.
However, a liver transplant is a costly procedure. Ken will be required to live near the hospital for 90 days after the procedure. During that time, he will be making frequent trips to the hospital for blood work and check-ups. Post-transplant medications will run him up to $1500 per month. Ken’s wife, Marcela, will need to care for him around the clock post-procedure which means she will be unable to work during those 60 days. Marcela’s income plays a very important role in the household. Ken eagerly looks forward to continuing where he left off in his career as an oil and gas consultant. Together, Ken and his family look forward to seeing him through this transplant.
To help with the financial burden of Ken Garland’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 South-Central Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please, consider a contribution.

Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity. Keep an eye on this page because we will be planning some fundraising events soon and posting updates regularly.
Gratefully,
Christina Navarro (Ken’s daughter)

Hi everyone! Just to tell you a little bit about my dad! He was born in Pauls Valley, OK in 1956. Graduated Duncan High School in 1975. He has been married to my mother Marcela Garland for 37 years! ❤️ My dad joined the oil field at a young age and made it his career! He worked in the oil field for over 30 years and looks forward to getting back to work post transplant and living a life full of Health & Happiness! He was diagnosed with stage 4 Cirrhosis in 2011 and is in need of a transplant! If you are someone who doesn't know him, I can say that my dad is a very generous and kind-hearted man. He has worked hard for many many years and is a great man! If you are able financially, please consider a donation! Thank you for your help!
