She has been placed on the waiting list to receive a double lung transplant. The wait can be up to two years or longer or it can happen in two weeks. We just don’t know. What we do know is that this is necessary now since she is “what they consider” healthy enough for the surgery. That’s why we are asking for everyone’s help.

We will be fundraising the non-profit organization Help Hope Live to help with the critical expenses that Yolie will face immediately after surgery. This can include temporary relocation for recovery (3-4 months), anti-rejection medication and co-pays. She has to raise the money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation and there are quite a few cost.

Donations to Help Hope Live in Yolie’s honor, will help ease the financial burden of the transplant and allow her to focus on a staying healthy and looking forward to healthy recovery.

Yolie 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. And please consider sharing this link with others so they may donate as well.

Having this to deal with has been an adjustment for her, to say the least, but she’s a fighter and she will continue to fight. With your help, she will win.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and generosity.
