You may know Charles from working for Beaufort County School District where he’s worked in maintenance, specializing in plumbing for over 15 years. Or you may know him from Fripp Island Resort where he also worked as supervisor over the maintenance department for over 10 years. Charles enjoys fishing, spending time with his grandkids and with loving and supportive family. He is also known for his outstanding cooking skills. As you can see, Charles has always had a zest for life and has been a very hard working man, working multiple jobs to provide for and support his family. He is a great husband, father, grandfather, a role model and person — Charles deserves the chance to return to good health through a lifesaving kidney transplant.

After many years of helping others, Charles is now the one who needs our help. Transplants are lifesaving but financially draining. Funding this life saving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by Medicare or insurance: co-pays and deductibles, medications, anti-rejection medications, lab fees and clinic visits-costs could top $20,000! Charles’s travel expenses and more, are adding up to more than the Cox family can handle alone.

To help with the financial burden of Charles’s uninsured expenses, a fund raising campaign in his 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 South-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Charles’s struggle. If we all work together we can make Charles’s prospects for the future much brighter. Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity. Charles’s greatest joy is looking forward to watching his grandchildren grow and being a part of their everyday life.

Gratefully,

Charles’s loving family and friends
