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 our 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.

Family and friends of Carlton Acklin are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

Carlton has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.

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
