Hello everyone I wanted you to know my transplant is doing well. I've made great strides in staying healthy. My only issues as of now are fundraising for co-pays and medicine I'll be required to take for the rest of my life. After transplant is the most difficult time for fundraising. I refuse to give up. I apply for certain grants to cover medicines and I apply for financial assistance to cover hospital expenses. I'm trying my hardest to make this all work to assist me with this new life journey. Thank you all who have donated and supported me along the way!

Hello everyone it's been a year since my double lung transplant. It's been an amazing year! There's things that happened this year like I broke both ankles and my wrist, I was hospitalized several times for being ill. But I made it through with the best doctors and nurses. Do you believe in miracles because I do. After going through a lung transplant and still here after a year, I'm beyond thrilled. Before I get ahead of myself there's still work to be done. I have to see the doctors often and have many tests plus surgical procedures and treatments. These co-pay costs are seriously expensive. Now I know it's Christmas and the New Year is upon us. But this is the season for giving. This is my last message of 2023. Next year will bring more challenges as well. I hope you're all still following my story and progress. My faith in God's Word and his love have promised to always be here for me. I truly believe in that. Please make a donation to my fundraiser and help me get the New Year off to a great start! Thank you all so much. Please make your donation at helphopelive.org My fundraiser is under Linda Sims find me and press the GIVE button
Sending love and hugs to you all

Hello everyone, the 1st year after transplant arrived on December 6th this year. I\'ve experienced many challenges and many exciting things beyond my expectations. I\'ve managed to make it through them with God\'s love and the courage and strength he provides. I believe in miracles. You have to when you have experienced a double lung transplant. I\'m forever grateful to the doctors and nurses who took care of me. I also need to express my gratitude to all of you that have donated. However, I need you more than ever now. I will be under the care of my doctors as long as I live. I have to travel to Birmingham often, every month for treatment. Insurance has just changed and raised the co-pays on many of my procedures and medications I must have. And they want their money right away I know it\'s Christmas and the New Year is upon us but I need your help. My car isn\'t going to make this trip for much longer. If there\'s anything you can donate to assist with my expenses, please make that donation count right here at HelpHopeLive.org and press the GIVE button. I thank you so much and my God bless you!
