Deshawne is a loving and caring person who has been there for others her whole life. She is a life-long resident of Edgard, where she became a mom, wife, and devoted friend to her closest confidantes. As a homemaker, she enjoyed cooking and caring for her two daughters and husband and always looked forward to the fun and exciting activities they enjoyed together. Since facing kidney failure, Deshawne attends dialysis treatments 3 days/per week where she’s often weak and too tired to do anything with her family. Due to the after effects of dialysis treatments, Deshawne is unable to go on long trips, and her only chance to return to good health and her once active lifestyle is a new kidney through a lifesaving kidney transplant.
Transplants are lifesaving, but the cost to fund this type of surgery can be overwhelming. Co-pays and deductibles, relocation costs, insurance premiums, medical bills, living expenses and caregiver fees are quickly adding up. Deshawne will also be required to take post-transplant medications that are needed for the rest of her life. These out-of-pocket expenses are adding up to more than her family can afford alone. Even with her Medicare coverage, Deshawne is looking upwards of $20,000 in out-of-pocket expenses and she is fully responsible for her donor’s fees, as well. Deshawne and her family cannot afford these costs on their own and are desperately seeking your financial support.
To help with the financial burden of Deshawne’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 Southeast Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. To make a donation to this fundraising campaign, please click on the yellow DONATE NOW button. For more information, please contact Help Hope Live at 800.642.8399.
Your support, generosity, and prayers are critical to Deshawne’s successful surgery and future health. Please know that every contribution helps. On behalf of Deshawne and her family, we thank you in advance for your act of kindness in our time of need.
With sincere gratitude,
Ciarra A. Borne, Deshawne’s cousin, ciarraborne@gmail.com
