Janet Needs a Liver and Your Help!

Janet Kafer, a thirty-six year resident of Simms and New Boston, Bowie County, has end-stage liver disease. Janet became seriously ill in December 2009 when she was diagnosed with acute liver failure, cryptogenic cirrhosis; 85% of her liver has been damaged. The doctors have determined that Janet’s only chance of survival is a liver transplant.

Janet has been married to Timothy for 36 years. She was employed at E Z Mart for thirteen years and at R.J. Reynolds for three years. However, due to her poor health, Janet was forced to stop working. Janet was fortunate to have been placed on the transplant waiting list at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas and she was just recently listed at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

A transplant is not a cure. It's a course of treatment that you will need to protect and manage for your lifetime, including participating in follow-up medical appointments and care, taking anti-rejection medications for a lifetime and potentially repeating the process for a second lifesaving transplant in the future.

Don't think of a transplant as "the end" -- only as a new beginning. Let us walk beside you on your journey and support you as you fundraise to cover a lifetime of large out-of-pocket transplant-related expenses.
