Carlton is a very kind and helpful man who for the past seven years has helped me to sponsor a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and/or a Bubble Day for the children on our street. Now, Carlton needs help. Funding this life saving procedure is a monumental task because there will be numerous medical expenses not covered by insurance: co-pays, anti-rejection medication, and many of his donor’s expenses. Even with the help that Carlton will probably receive from Medicare, his medical expenses will be more than he or our family can handle alone; his expenses can be more than $14,000.

To help with the financial burden of Carlton Acklin’s uninsured expenses, a fund-raising 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 Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Carlton’s struggle. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of Carlton and his family, we thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

With heartfelt thanks,

Vinnie Acklin, Carlton’s mother
