Jason Enyeart is a 41-year old husband and loyal friend to many. He has struggled for years with various digestive and health issues such as pancreatitis and acute liver failure. Many of which cost him weeks to months in the hospital each time.
In 2016, Jason had a TPIAT procedure at the University of Chicago in Illinois which did greatly aid in his digestive issues. This procedure left Jason without a pancreas therefore unable to produce insulin. Jason’s health took a dramatic turn for the worse when he was admitted in his hometown of Indianapolis,Indiana for a G.I. bleed in February of 2018. A few days later Jason was informed he had acute liver failure and a full liver transplant was needed to save his life. The original transplant center was unwilling to take the chance on the procedure and he was told to prepare for a 90 day life expectancy. Jason’s family refused to accept that answer and reached out for assistance and the doctors and nurses at the University of Chicago stepped up to the challenge.
Jason was transferred to Chicago and received his much needed liver and pancreas transplant on April 9th, 2018.
With regret, six hours after the operation his body was not able to keep the pancreas alive and it was once again removed. These 3 months in the hospital took a toll on his body, family and as you can imagine his company was unable to further accommodate his absence and Jason’s employment was ended. Jason is now back on the list for a new pancreas, needs a this pancreas, but needs our help.
Jason is one of the nicest guys youʼd ever hope to meet. He would give you a ride if his car was low on gas, the shirt off his back and the last dollar in his pocket. Now he needs our help. The cost of a transplant is overwhelming and the follow up care and treatment is never ending.
Jason grew up in North Manchester, Indiana and graduated from Manchester High School in 1996. He enjoyed a great career within the corporate business travel world and working tirelessly to help companies focus on the value of the customer experience. He has and continues to fight for the rights of the LGBTQ Community and is happily married to his husband Richard of 21 years.
