Sandy settled down and had her own family of three, two girls and a boy… one of each she loved to say. (The youngest girl was a tomboy growing up.) Before long, Sandy found herself a single mom raising her children. Never one to stop, while raising her children, she was also a youth group leader in her church. She became like a second mom to some of those kids, encouraging them right along with her own.
Sandy has always been devoted not only to her children, but her family as well. After raising her children, she moved across the country to help care for her grandmother whom she had adored since her childhood. When her time there done, she moved back across the country to spend time with her new grandchildren. In just a few short years, she was off again, moving out if state to be there for her mother.
Sandy has always been one to put not only her children first, but her family. Now it is our turn to help her. Sandy’s diagnosis of Hep C in 1998 was a shock. She was diagnosed with one of the worst strains and not given much hope, maybe 10 years. Yet, here it is 21 years later and she is still with us. The first two treatments were difficult and unsuccessful. The third put her in remission. But along the way, her liver has suffered. She is in need of transplant and in need of support through this process.
We would love to have our mom here with us for many more years. She will be filled with hope for a second chance. Thank you for your support in this time.
Jan 6, 2021 was moms lucky day she got a liver transplant. Now the next phase begins. I am sorry we do not have lots of pictures up, we are just not an on-line family but that does not mean that we do not still need the help and appreciate it so very much. Thank you
Well, we were so close, so close I can’t even describe the emotions, excitement and nerves that course through you! Mom got a liver call on 7/26/19. Unfortunately she was not able to get the transplant due to the shoulder replacement surgery she had the previous week on her birthday 7/18/19. She has had an exciting (I think that is the right word to use here 🙂 few weeks. The 26th was a bit disappointing to say the least, one thing it did do was make it sink in that mom is on the liver transplant list and this is going to happen. Unfortunately, I am not a person to think to get my phone out to record her to upload a video…maybe I will next time 🙂 Thank you all for you time and support!

Give because it's right. Give because it feels good. Give because it brings hope. But mostly giving opens the door for God to move! May God move and bring the finances and liver while also comfort for those that have lost in order for this liver to be possible.

As we go through life, I believe we give away what we want to come back to us. I have been to the brink of almost needing a new liver or death at the hands of a surgeon that didn't care about me during a routine gall bladder surgery, that left me for dead. If it was not for the amazing caring professionals at Northwestern, I would not be alive today. I want to give that gift to someone else and I hope you will pay it forward too because life never tells you one day when you are the healthiest you have ever been running 5 miles a day with a 20lb weight vest, you might need a liver out of no fault of your own. I pray today that you all would pay it forward in the hopes of never having to need it.
