Mary Needs Your Help and Blessings!

In the spring of 2015 Mary was told there was nothing to be done except to call hospice, and if she made it to the end of 2015 anything after that would be a blessing. In January 2016, Mary was put on the liver transplant list. She suffers from ascites and has to have periodic paracentesis to remove the fluid from her stomach. Tumors on her liver are being treated by chemo embolizations to keep her going until liver becomes available.

Mary grew up in a military family and has lived in different places. She is a single mother of two who worked her whole life until she became disabled in 2013 due to her health.

Even with insurance, Mary is facing very high expenses including co-pays, lab fees and more. A major expense will be the post-transplant medications which she will have to take for the rest of her life. Estimated medication costs are $1,200 a month. The expenses that insurance doesn’t pay are overwhelming this is why even with the support of her family in getting her through this transplant, Mary needs your help.

To help with the financial burden of Mary’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, 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 to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Southwest Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution.

All your support and encouragement is greatly appreciated and critical to the success of Mary’s struggle. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Gratefully,

The family of Mary Willett
