Currently, Hugh is on is the kidney transplant waiting list at Scott and White Hospital and also at Baylor Medical Center. However, due to the extraordinary expense of transplantation, funding this life-saving operation is a monumental task. Despite having insurance, many of his medical needs are not covered and must be paid out-of-pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, and Hugh will need approximately $10,000 per year for his lifelong immunosuppressant medications. Also, the expense of traveling to and from the center and then relocation costs at the time of transplant will be high. This presents a challenge we cannot meet alone.

To help with his uninsured costs, a fundraising campaign in Hugh’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All contributions are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the South-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. You can help make a difference in Hugh’s life. Please consider making a contribution.On behalf of Hugh, myself and our family thank you for your kindness, support and generosity.
