Help Tommy Get His New Kidney!

Tommy is looking forward to returning to good health so he can continue to spend time with his loving family and friends. Transplant surgery will give Tommy a new lease on life, however funding this procedure is monumental and Tommy needs the help of his friends, family, and community. There will be monumental expenses not covered by Tommy’s medical insurance, including co-pays and deductibles, medical appointments, lab fees, caregiver expenses and even living costs while both Tommy and his wife are recovering from the transplant. Tommy’s travel expenses from his home in Lake Waccamaw to UNC Chapel Hill Hospital, where he will receive his transplant, are quickly adding up. Both Tommy and Julia will have temporary relocation and lodging fees that are expected to cost upwards of thousands of dollars. Tommy will also be required to take costly post-transplant, anti-rejection medications that he will need for the rest of his life.
