All other forms of supportive therapy have failed, as there is no cure. The transplant will help improve my quality of life. Right now, I have a poor quality of life as I am on a home portable ventilator and am restricted to what I can do. All donations made will be greatly appreciated!
If you have any questions, I am available to answer them. Thank you for taking the time to read and donate. You are truly appreciated!
Family and friends of Holly Szmutko are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. Some of the costs will be relocation for 1-3 months. Lodging is more than I make in a month. My Mom will have to relocate with me as she is my primary care giver. We have been able to find discount apartments through the hospital. The cost of the lodging is $75 per night. It is 1 block from the hospital and offers shuttle service to appointments. Also, some of the post transplant is not covered. I have already made a deposit on my account but it won’t cover near the expenses we will have.
Holly has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.

What a journey the last month has been! Three hospitalizations for illness and oxygen issues! I have been listed 9 weeks now and patiently waiting for the right pair of lungs to arrive!

Yesterday was 2 weeks that I have been listed!! Still waiting for that call!! Thank you for your continued support!!
I want to thank everyone for your continued support and for donations!! It is overwhelming the amount of support I have right now! Know that each one of you, whether I personally know you or not, is making a huge impact on me! I hope by this time next year, I will be so much better and able to get out and see you or meet you! My heart is so full! Thank you again, for helping lessen the load! I am still home & resting as best I can. The goal is to stay out of the hospital until I get the call that there is a donor! Keep the prayers and thoughts coming!!!

Hi all! Today has been rough! Resting a lot! I love the comments, I wish I could reply to you all!! I am trying to thank everyone as you donate! That is just who I am! The docs are hopeful I will be listed next week & transplanted vert soon!!
I am seeing the transplant surgeon today. I will find out when I can be listed. It will probably be mid to late March due to immunizations. I will update after the appointment.
Hello all! I have my last appointments on Thursday before being listed for transplant. For those who do not know, I was diagnosed with a rare disease, with no cure, called Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. It is high blood pressure in the lungs due to constriction on blood vessels. After numerous, and failed attempts with supportive medication, in order to regain a normal quality of life, a double lung transplant is what is needed. All donations will be used for medical & lodging expenses for my Mom, who is my caregiver, and myself during the whole transplant process as we will most likely have to relocate to Chicago for a short period of time. Please reach out if you have any questions. I am always happy to discuss my condition.
