Family, friends, and co-workers of Flora Sumrall are raising money through the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. Flora is scheduled for a kidney transplant in the NEXT 48 HOURS (September 11/12, 2020) of and will have several preparation appointments leading up to this life-changing experience. Flora is working with the medical team at the University of Alabama (UAB) in Birmingham, AL. The travel between her home of Quitman and Birmingham alone is just one of many aspects where we can team up to support Flora’s journey.
Flora’s loved ones are asking for three primary avenues of support: 1) be in prayer for Flora as she prepares for the surgery; 2) be in prayer for her medical team, hospital staff, etc. as they work to bring good health and new opportunities for Flora; and 3) make a donation in support of the expenses associated with travel, medical, recovery, etc.
Many of you may not know this, but Flora’s niece is donating her kidney. While she was not a match for Flora, this selfless sacrifice has set into motion a chain of events that has allowed Flora to be matched. Her niece is donating her kidney to someone who’s family/friend is donating to Flora – isn’t in amazing how God uses a single act to bless so many others!
Flora has chosen to fundraise through Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility to the full extent allowed by law 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.

Hi everyone
I came home on Friday and am doing better. Although I am very tired, I am very happy. I currently have to return to UAB twice a month and my local nephrologist twice a week.
Thank you so much for your prayers, encouragement, gifts, etc.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your prayers and help. I should be leaving ICU soon. They are trying to move me to a new room but I might have to go directly to a hotel because they are out of beds.
They thought that I had a stroke right after the surgery on Friday because I had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic used for the surgery. I have to tell you about how God stepped in and had the surgeon asking me to tell her about the miracle that took place in that room.
I got up and walked for the first time today. The doctors and surgeons say that I am doing so much better than they ever expected.
Praise the Lord and we need your help! Flora has received word that she is to travel to Birmingham today (9/10/2020) and that a kidney should be available as early as tomorrow for her transplant.
1/10/19: My surgery was postponed because one of the donors in the circle (not mine) had to drop out for medical reasons. We cannot continue with the surgeries until that donor is replaced. At this point, they have not found another one. I am currently "on call" waiting for them to find a replacement. As soon as they call me, I will have to start the procedure to prep for the surgery.
1/4/19: I was placed on hold just before December 7 (my surgery date) because one of the other donors (there are 4 donors and 4 recipients) had some medical problems that could not be resolved. That donor has to be replaced; therefore, the rest of us are on call. I am just at a stand still right now until I hear from the unit. This could be at any time. This is a very upsetting time, but there is nothing that we can do but wait and pray that they call soon.
12/3/2018: Flora's Help Hope Live campaign page is now live and accepting your support! Flora is in waiting on the phone call to schedule the date for your transplant, which will set into motion a week of pre-operation preparation where she must be in Birmingham each day leading up to the transplant.

The first step to being selfless is to not be selfish; and you’ve demonstrated so much SELFLESSNESS. Praying the goal is met. May Christ keep His hands on your life.
