Hi, my name is Brittany I am 34 and a single mom of a 3 year old and 9 year old both are girls. I am fundraising for my lung transplant.

Currently my lungs are very scarred from my Mixed Connective Tissue disease with Scleroderma being most present. I also have Interstitial Lung Disease. I have had these diseases since I was 18 years-old and it has taken control of my life. I am currently on oxygen that I must use everyday. I also take a long list of medications as well. This is important to me because I want to be here with and for my kids. I want to run around with them and go places without breathing problems. I want to live life without an oxygen machine and get back to doing the things I love doing.The funds will be used for preparation for surgery, lodging near the hospital, medical bills, medication, transportation, and recovery. This transplant will change my life for the better and I hope you have it in your heart to give for this cause. Thank you.
