Joe has battled liver disease and is now in liver failure. He needs a transplant to survive. We are asking our family and friends to join us in fundraising for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to assist with the critical and very costly expenses of a transplant facing Joe. These expenses include the cost of lodging for Joe to remain near the transplant center immediately upon his discharge for a minimum of 30 days.
Joe has always been involved with the young people of his community. He started coaching Little League baseball when he was just 15 years old. He continued to coach Little League began coaching boys and girls basketball from 4th grade to high school. Joe was also a youth group leader for five years in his church community as well as a teacher for the junior high class at the church. Joe was a great mentor, coach, friend & spiritual leader who supported many young people over a span of 25 years. Joe’s impact on these young people carried over into their adult lives. Many of them still call him coach and keep in touch with him. Now, Joe needs the help & support of his community.
Joe does have health insurance, but there are many transplant expenses that are not covered that are vital to his survival. These include but are not limited to the special monthly anti-rejection medications necessary for the life of his new liver. Joe was told to anticipate upwards of $8,000 per month just for medications alone.
Donations to Help Hope Live can help ease the financial hardship of a transplant & allow Joe to focus on a healthy recovery & long life with his family. If you choose to donate to this very vital cause by check, please make the check payable to Help Hope Live and include Joe’s name in the memo field.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and your support!
