Avis is an extraordinary woman who has spent her life caring for others. Avis birthed three kids but cared for so many, from adopted nieces and grandchildren to children of no kin. For almost 40 years, Avis worked as a nurse in many capacities, giving of herself in order to aid others. It wasn’t until she became ill, ending up in the hospital and on dialysis, that her care for others ceased. Avis would like to renew her duties as a nurse, a mother, and a grandmother. A transplant will not only reclaim her life but also salvage the lives of others.
Transplants are lifesaving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Avis is facing very high expenses that must be paid out of pocket. Some of these expenses are co-pays, deductibles, lab fees, travel to and from the transplant center, and she will be on a life-time of anti-rejection medications. Costs could easily top $20,000! This is where your support is needed.
To help with the financial burden of Avis ‘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 South-Central Kidney/Liver 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.
We are so grateful for any help you can give. Our mother is a woman full of modesty and often would not ask for help. This fundraising campaign was set up in her honor with love. On behalf of our family, thank you for your kindness, prayers, support and generosity.

Mom received two kidneys yesterday and the surgery was a success. She is in ICU, recovering well and hopefully will be in a regular room today. I am headed there this morning. Thank you all for your kind words, prays, songs, and support. Love ya'll!
We got the call early this morning that a kidney is available. My sister and mom are headed to the hospital this morning. Please keep us in your prayers, cross your fingers, and send as many positive vibes our way. Thanks again for all your amazing support.

Our mom has finally received word that she has made the donor list. We are all sitting by our phones waiting anxiously for that important phone call. Fingers crossed that it will happen any day now.
Thanks again for all of your support,
Chasity
There was so much love on Saturday and my family and I felt it all. What amazing beings you all are. I am in love with you all. Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart.
Although my mom couldn't be there she wants you all to know that your love and support is felt and appreciated.
I'll have a "Save Avis" table set up (if weather permits) this coming Sunday, Jan. 15 at Kismet Boutique, We'll have art and t-shirts and a donation jar. -Chasity
So excited to be able to put on an Art Show Fundraiser for my mom this weekend. We have a lot of amazing people working hard to make this event a success. If you're in the area please stop by and support my mother, local art, and the Help Hope Live organization.
See you this weekend!
Our mother is doing well and continues to have dialysis three days a week. She has an appointment next week to see how well her liver is functioning.
As a way of getting the message out about my mother, I have been hiding free art around the city of Houston and surrounding areas. To keep track of these posts please follow me on instagram @artbus_lady.
