Semajorie Hunter, 37, is a native of Norfolk, Virginia, now residing in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. She was diagnosed with a lung disease called sarcoidosis in 2007 and by 2010 she was told she had a life expectancy of five years if she didn’t receive a lung transplant. She has endured numerous tests, surgeries and is on oxygen all day. Once the evaluations were complete her doctors determined she is a good candidate for the lung transplant program in Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.
Funding this life-saving operation is a monumental task. Even with Medicaid, Semajorie will have many uninsured medically-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles, doctor visits and the expensive immunosuppressant medications she will need to take for the rest of her life. These expenses present a financial challenge Semjorie cannot meet alone.
To help pay for the uninsured medically related expenses associated with transplantation, family and friends of Semajorie have established a fundraising campaign through HelpHopeLive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Mid-Atlantic Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution:At times like this, the help of friends, family, and the community is greatly needed and appreciated to make the outcome successful.
Thank You in Advance and God Bless You.
Gloria G. Hunter (Mother)
