Rebecca has been working in the medical field and helping people since she was 18 years old. She loves exercising, taking walks, and just enjoying the world around her. Her son Kaj and I look forward to seeing her get her life back, return to work, being active in the community and really enjoy herself again.
As you can imagine, the cost of a transplant is very expensive. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that must be paid out of pocket. Our most immediate concern is raising funds to cover the expense of a 24/7 caregiver that Rebecca is required to have at the time of transplant. She will be placed on the active waiting list for this transplant once those funds are secured. In addition, she will have co-pays, deductibles, travel to and from Cleveland and relocation expenses at the time of transplant for at least 6 months. In addition, Rebecca will be on a lifetime of anti-rejection medications. This is where your support is desperately needed.
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 Great Lakes Small Bowel Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. To make a donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.
On behalf of Rebecca, Kaj, myself and our families, thank you for your kindness, prayers, support, and generosity. Please keep an eye on Rebecca’s campaign page at www.helphopelive.org because we will be planning some fundraising events soon and posting updates regularly.

I just wanted to let everyone know that it looks like I'm going to be going to Ohio again. I've been dealing with unusual bloating and one of the doctors wants to see me in person. So I might not be hanging out with my sister and my niece tomorrow. I might be driving all the way to Cleveland Ohio when Dan gets out of work again. Hopefully it will just be one overnighter. I will keep you all updated and I'm still looking for a caregiver. Thank you for all the support it means a lot to me :-)
I just wanted to update everyone and let you know that I'm still looking for a caregiver. I also wanted to thank you all for the support, donations, and especially the prayers it means the world to me. I'm also happy to report that I found a church where I feel like part of a family once again. Everyone there is so nice and welcomes you with such a warm embrace. I am happy I picked the church I did and I look forward to going there this coming Sunday and many more :-) I will try to keep you all posted as often as I can. I know I already thanked you for the donations and especially the support/prayers. I feel so blessed to know/ have met so many wonderful people that are very loving and caring :-) So thank you all!!!!
I just wanted to give all my friends & family an update. Yes it's true last week late Wednesday night I ended up in the emergency room in Cleveland Ohio. They wanted to make sure there wasn't an infection in my port. I ended up being amitted & was able to go home on Friday. They had to change my port(i.v) on Thursday evening & started Me On TPN late that night. They also gave me a nice dose of an antibiotic to stop any possible infection from spreading. I've been home since late Friday night, but I'm very tired trying to regain my strength back. I would love to thank you all for the constant praying. Also just keeping me & my family in your thoughts as well. I found out from my sister & good friend that she is working on a couple of fundraisers. So please keep your eyes peeled when you look on my page. I will also post it on Facebook or she will. I feel like I can't thank you guys enough. Words do not express all the love & other emotions I'm feeling right now. So thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart I truly mean that ☺
Good morning everyone, I wish you a happy Monday morning & a wonderful blessed day! I just wanted to give everyone an update on how I'm doing. Late last week Wednesday I ended up in the ER at Cleveland Clinic. It wasn't dealing with the transplant. My Hickman(port) needed to be changed, because the other one was going bad. I was having shortness of breath, right sided chest pain, & right-sided arm soreness / weakness. I was in the hospital until Friday & then returned home to MI, later that evening. I just also wanted to let you all know that the only thing keeping me from getting a transplant is a caregiver. My caregiver would have to stay with me after my transplant around the clock for the 1st 3 to 6 months possibly longer. My caregiver wouldn't have to move in with me until I'm having the transplant surgery. So my son or fiance would give you a call to let you know you need to come down. Then you would have to come to the hospital every day early in the morning & leave later in the afternoon. So they could teach you how to take care of me. When I do go home that 1st month at home I could possibly end up back in the hospital due to an infection or my body rejecting the organ. Yes we would be living temporarily in Cleveland OH, I have my heart set on an apartment in Parma, OH. Which is not a bad area. That's a lot for one person & I understand why I'm having a hard time finding somebody. So please continue to pray that I will find a caregiver & thank you once again everyone for listening. One more thing before I go my best friend who is a sister to me is helping my son put together a fundraiser. So please look for updates on that. I think they're going to do a bowling one :-) Love to all my other fellow transplant friends out there☺
