1n 2000 John was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Nephrosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS is a progressive form of kidney disease which scars the kidneys and is the leading cause of kidney failure. At that time of John’s diagnosis there was not much hope for stopping this horrible disease. Since then it has been discovered that a kidney transplant would allow John to return to his normal activities.
John is a 67-year-old loving husband and father of a beautiful daughter, Cassandra. He grew up in Springfield, Ohio and graduated from Northeastern High School. After graduation, John enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he spent a six-year tour. In 1986 John and I were married and in 1989 we were blessed with the birth of our daughter.
Transplant are lifesavings but very expensive. Even with insurance, John will face many uninsured transplant-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles, continued doctor visits and lab tests, travel to and from the Cleveland Clinic and the costly anti-rejection medications that John will need to take for the rest of his life. This is a financial situation that we cannot meet alone.
To help offset such expenses, a fundraising campaign in John’s 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 Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. If you would like to make a contribution today please press the DONATE NOW button.
John and I thank you for your support during this time. Please visit this campaign page for updates.
Sincerely,
Deborah Thompson
