It is with great sadness we report that Robert J Garment passed away on September 5, 2020. Family and friends have been working with Help Hope Live to raise money to help finance uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.
In loving memory of Robert, Help Hope Live will continue to accept charitable donations to help defray uninsured costs that were incurred. Robert had chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because the nonprofit organization provides both tax-deductibility to the full extent allowed by law and fiscal accountability to contributors. Contributors can be sure that funds contributed will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
To make a kind contribution to Robert’s memorial fundraising campaign, select the “Give” button on this page or call 800.642.8399.
For more information, please contact Help Hope Live at 800.642.8399.
In loving care and remembrance, thank you for your support.
We join with Robert’s loving supporters to extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. We wish you peace and comfort during this time of sorrow. – Help Hope Live Staff
This process has been quite the rollercoaster! Along the way there were various setbacks, including a stay in the ICU where it looked like Robert wasn’t going to survive. However, we are extremely happy to report good news! Robert’s sister Sarah was his donor and went through a harrowing process during which she was given drugs to stimulate stem cell growth. After her stem cells were collected via apheresis, Robert went through yet another round of chemo to prepare his body to receive the transplant. On 6/30 he received those stem cells and then the agonizing wait began. After about three weeks we began to see evidence that the stem cells were setting up shop as planned and he is now out of the hospital sporting a brand new immune system! To say we are grateful does not quite express the magnitude of our feelings as we watch him embark on a new life. Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible for us to arrive at this place of hope. We will never forget your contribution to our family’s happiness.
My brother is a mutant. No wait…let me start that over. In all sincerity, we are here to update everyone and to ask for your help in the form of spreading this campaign. As many of you know, when Robert went in for his pre-transplant evaluation we found out his leukemia had progressed to the point of blast crisis. This meant putting the transplant on hold while he went through chemo, which kept him in the hospital for about a month. Unfortunately, the chemo and all other treatments have failed to bring his blast and other blood counts into the ranges necessary to go to transplant. His case is highly unusual and he has not responded to treatment the way doctors expected because of the mutations driving the disease. Long story short, he is now being referred for a second opinion to one of the top CML doctors in the country, who is located in Georgia. You know what all of this means? We have to raise our fundraising goal. We are keenly aware that our friends have already been generous beyond description, so we aren’t asking for people to donate again. However, we ask you to share our campaign far and wide. Cancer survivors, relatives of those who lost their fight against cancer, and many others may be moved to help support our family as we work together to bring my brother back to wellness. Please share this post and talk it up! And thank you again to everyone for your support!!!
Last night I was at rehearsal when I decided to see how this campaign was doing. When I realized where we were I thought my heart might explode! I exclaimed to the orchestra and there was a celebratory round of applause. GOAL ACHIEVED!!! People in that orchestra pit had donated…families of students had donated…friends near and far had donated…many of you donated. And because so many people chose to donate, my family can now focus on the actual healing process. Friends, to say we are grateful simply doesn’t do it justice. As I type these words I can’t help but be overwhelmed to the point of tears by the love and support you have all shown us. Thank you from all of us in the Garment family. We will never forget the kindness you have shown us. <3
Holy moly! While our fundraising indicator show’s a generous $7,255 in donations, those of us who can see the backend know that another $1,000 was just donated anonymously along with several “anonymous amount” donations! That means we’re between 80%-85% toward the Help Hope Live campaign goal (cue wild celebratory sounds). Thank you again to everyone who donated any amount. We are so close to the goal and it already feels easier to breathe!
Hello friends! We are about 60% of the way to our goal, so thank you big and beyond to all of our contributors. <3 Whether you gave $5, $1,000, or something in between, we are grateful beyond words for your support!!! If you've been meaning to contribute but haven't yet done so, there's still time to be a part of making my brother well again. If you're not in a position to contribute, you can still help by sharing this campaign. Almost there, y'all!
We are 50% of the way to our goal! We are hopeful that we’ll be at 100% soon so we can get everything in place for the least stress possible over the next few months. Help us get there if you can!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated!
***Because of your generosity, we are about 40% of the way to our goal!!!***
We are grateful beyond words for the love and kindness you have showed us through your support monetarily and otherwise. The fundraising indicator only updates every 1-2 business days, so we will post updates here when we can see donations coming in that haven’t yet been verified for the indicator.
