Family and friends of Dylan Mortimer are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

There are many financial challenges associated with costs of the surgery, inpatient stay and recovery. They’ll incur transportation costs (a single Uber ride to the hospital is around $70). And they’ll need help caring for the boys during surgery, recovery and during the multitude of medical appointments post-transplant. After surgery, Dylan’s recovery will be more than a full-time job for Shannon and they’ll need a full-time caretaker to help with the boys. Finally, Dylan won’t be able to make and sell as much art during all this (though you know he will still try!).

I’m sure you are aware of the variety of ways this family has blessed so many. In the past months, it has become more clear than ever that: 1. They have amazing faith and trust that surpasses understanding. It’s seriously mind-blowing. (Check out Dylan’s Instagram for more details on his art, his disease, and life in general). 2. They could really use our help and are humbly asking anyone who is inspired by their journey to come alongside them financially as they continue to battle for Dylan’s life.

Thank you for loving on them so generously. This is certainly not a situation anyone would hope for. But in spite of immense challenges, they are faithful and hopeful that God once again has healing and victory over death and disease. We’ve seen amazing things happen before, and we are believing for more! Thank you for your prayers, and thank you for your support!
