My mother-in-law Elizabeth needs your help.
Elizabeth’s sister has had a long battle with polycystic kidney disease for over 5 years and for the past two years her sister has been on the kidney transplant list without a compatible donor. Elizabeth has decided to go through the process of donating her own kidney to her sister and was approved to be a living donor. We are asking for our family, friends, and community to help us with fundraising for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to help with essential expenses Elizabeth has during and immediately after the surgery. These expenses include costs for things such as transportation, lodging, and post-operative medications. Elizabeth will also have to be out of work for about 2-3 months in the post-operative period, so the fundraising will assist her with being able to pay for flights, lodging, travel expenses for multiple trips and follow-up appointments, and essential bills at home while she is out of work.
Elizabeth has lived a very positive and selfless life, always helping out her friends and family whenever she can. She has always been described as someone who would give her last dollar to someone if they needed it. She has always valued her relationships with people and experiences over money, or superficial things she has in life. For about 15 years she was working as a cashier at the hospital, dedicating her life to providing positivity to those who may be having a rough day at the hospital visiting their loved ones. She now works at Whole Foods where she strives to make each person’s experience and day just a little bit better.

"I can't think of anything better than helping the ones I can't imagine life without live longer and struggle less. I never thought twice about becoming a kidney donor for my sister."
