Family and friends of Derek Bannister are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with his lung transplant. Derek lives in Charleston, SC and is being treated at Medical University of South Carolina.

Derek’s family has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive provides both tax-deductibility and fiscal accountability to his contributors. Contributors can be sure that funds contributed will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
