John Bills was diagnosed with renal failure at birth. As a result, he lost functioning in both his kidneys. He received a living donor kidney transplant from his mother at age seven. This “gift of life” provided John with 35 amazing years of good health!
Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and John is once again facing chronic kidney failure. Based on his critical situation, John now attends dialysis three times a week for survival. But there is hope as a second kidney transplant holds the promise of many more years of health and happiness for John! However, this is where your help is needed.
Transplantation is life-saving but financially draining. Even with health insurance, many medical costs, vital medications, and other transplant-related expenses are not covered. In facing this medical crisis, he barely gets by financially. In spite of his stress, he holds on to his faith and continues to take things one day at a time. Yet the reality is that John faces a tremendous challenge he cannot meet alone.
We are asking family and friends to join us in raising funds for the nonprofit, Help Hope Live, to help with the transplant-related medical expenses John will face. Donations to Help Hope Live can help ease the financial burden of a transplant and allow John to focus on a healthy recovery and a long life ahead with his loved ones.
Make a donation right now by clicking on the Give button or by calling 800.642.8399. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law, and all funds raised will be used to offset medical expenses as part of the South-Atlantic Transplant Fund.
Help Hope Live is a national nonprofit that specializes in engaging communities in fundraising campaigns for people who need a transplant or are affected by a catastrophic injury or illness. Since 1983, campaigns organized by Help Hope Live have raised over $131 million to pay patient expenses.
Thank you for your consideration of charitable support. Together, we can make a difference for this sweet and loving man. Any donation, small or large, will help John in so many ways. We thank each and every supporter from the bottom of our hearts!
With gratitude,
Rebecca Arnold
