Vanessa has always been and lived a positive and independent life despite her chronic condition. She has never let any of her health challenges get in the way of achieving her dreams – hoping to become a Registered Nurse in Home Health and Hospice care, as well as being married and having children of her own. Despite her condition, Vanessa has always portrayed a positive attitude and a life style that has helped her avoid the inevitable for a long time, but now her kidneys are no longer functioning enough to maintain her ability to excrete waste from her body, and very soon will be faced with dialysis until her kidney is available. Vanessa has faced many difficult obstacles throughout her life, thus never asking for assistance. Now, she realizes that this procedure will not be possible without your help.

While Vanessa currently has health insurance, many transplant expenses are surprisingly not covered, such as the monthly anti-rejection medications she needs to take for the life of her new kidney. Vanessa has been told to anticipate upwards of $5,000 per month just for medications alone. In addition, if Vanessa must start dialysis, she will be too weak to work full time during treatments, which may result in a loss of benefits.
Donations to “Help Hope Live” can help ease the financial burden of a transplant and allow Vanessa to focus on a healthy recovery and the possibility of having her own children and becoming a nurse.
