Gail was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a type of chronic lung disease characterized by a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function. We are asking family and friends to join us in fundraising for the non-profit Help Hope Live to help with critical expenses Gail will face immediately after her necessary lung transplant surgery.

Gail worked 28 years at Hamilton County Job and Family Services providing services to the community, such as food, cash, medical assistance and child support.

While Gail has health insurance, many transplant expenses are not covered, such as lodging near the transplant center where she is required to stay for one to two months. She is required to pay for transplant medication and medication copays, transportation and relocation costs.
