Shawn is a loving husband, wonderful father to my stepdaughter, Hannah (13) and our son Jackson (9). He is a, brother, son, cousin, uncle and good friend to many. He had to take a short leave of absence from work when he was diagnosed so he could adjust to dialysis but is now working full time and undergoing dialysis 3-5 days every week. Following the transplant, Shawn looks forward to being more active with Jackson and Hannah, watching them grow, going on to middle and high school, sending them to college and enjoying a long and healthy life.
As you can imagine, a transplant is very expensive. Even with insurance there are many expenses that must be covered out of pocket. Our out of pocket expenses could exceed $25,000. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, clinic visits, lab fees, travel to and from the transplant center and Shawn will be on a life-time of expensive anti-rejection medications. In addition, Shawn will not be able to go back to work for three months post-transplant and I will not be able to return for two to four weeks following the transplant. This is where your support is needed.
To help with the financial burden of Shawn’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising 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-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

If you would like to get involved with fundraising in honor of Shawn or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. On behalf of Shawn, Jackson, Hannah and our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.

Shawn had his transplant in June and is doing great. Both he and Monica have returned to work and family life has gotten back to somewhat normal. Shawn has had a few minor set backs with a blood clot and now blood too thick but other than that the new kidney is working well and he has his life back. He is back to spending time with his kids rather than sitting at a dialysis center. He will be coaching his son’s basketball team starting in December. He would not have had time for that prior to his surgery. Thanks to all who have prayed for him and his family and to all who have contributed to the various fund raisers.
The drawing for the phone raffle was held on the evening of July 1st. The winner was Stephanie Luhm.
Shawn received his transplanted kidney from Monica on June 28th. According to the surgeons the surgery could not have gone any better. The donated kidney started working right away and both were able to go home from the hospital on Friday July 1st. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and support. It means the world to our family.
