Janis and her daughter, Michelle, were both diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney and Liver disease in the same year. Michelle was the first to need a kidney transplant and was fortunate to receive one from a loving family member. She lived an additional 12 years before her recent passing due to an illness unrelated to the transplant which enhanced her life in so many ways. Janis was her primary caretaker and now needs your help.
Over the last three years Janis has overcome several urinary/kidney infections, thankfully managed with month-long regiments of daily antibiotic treatments but is now facing renal failure. While her cyst-ridden liver functions, it is huge, uncomfortable and makes mobility difficult. Due to its large size, there is no room in her abdomen for a kidney transplant without removing and replacing the liver.
Since there is no hospital in her home state of New Mexico that is able to do a dual kidney/liver transplant, Janis must relocate to Arizona where she will have an indefinite wait until a match is found with an unknown organ donor. (Please do check the “organ donor” box on you driver’s license – some person unknown to you may live as a result!) Expenses related to relocation compound the expense of daily ant-rejection medications needed post-transplant for the rest of her life.
Please help Janis receive this life saving operation with your donation through Help Hope Live. It will ease the financial uncertainty and stress to allow her to focus on a successful recovery.
Janis Bonser is raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. She chose to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because HHL assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and contributions are tax deductibile. 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.

On November 13th I received a call from the Mayo Hospital telling me they had a liver and kidney for me and to come right away. I flew out of Albuquerque on Southwest and had the transplant at 8:00PM on the 13th. My wonderful sister Sandra drove from Soccoro NM and arrived at the Hospital at 7:30 PM just in time to let me know she was here for me. Thanks to her excellent care giving my recovery is going well and I hope to be back in Santa Fe within the next two weeks. It is so nice not to have to resettle in the Phoenix area. I will still need help with my medical expenses and medications. This has been a miracle for me, the staff and everyone at the Mayo Clinic are exceptional and I feel truly blessed to have received this gift of life. Thank you to all who have donated on this site you don't know how much it means to me. Will update again after I get home. Love to all, Janis
