We are raising money for Byron “Ken” Murray for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. Did you know that the average cost of a kidney transplant in the US is almost $450,000? After insurance, that leaves nearly $90,000 that transplant patients have to cover out of pocket. This figure doesn’t include travel expenses or relocation (he will have to stay in Charleston for 7 days after he is discharged). We are asking friends and family to help us reach our goal- even the smallest amount can make a difference!

Ken 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.
