Steven Sneed

Family and friends of Steven Sneed are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. Steve’s lifelong battle with Hemochromotosis has reached a life-threatening level causing liver failure and liver cancer.

Steve’s survival is dependent upon a liver transplant. We are looking to fundraising efforts with the assistance of Help Hope Live as Steve is a consultant where his income is based on billable hours. Therefore, the loss of income due to the inability to work while undergoing treatments and a transplant, will be devastating. As well, his wife will be his primary caretaker, leading to her absence from work. The out-of-pocket costs that come from cancer treatments, liver transplants, including required housing near the transplant center, have the potential to put our retirement savings at risk or even cause bankruptcy.

Despite living with an inherited, chronic blood disease and all the complications associated with that such as diabetes, Steve has lived a positive, productive, and faithful life. Steve has raised his children, served in his church and in his community. He is grateful for the blessings in his life and knows God will continue to bless him, even in this time of uncertainty, facing a life-threatening medical condition.

Donations will help with the loss of income, out of pocket expenses such as travel and additional housing expenses to live away from home for the required time for surgery and recovery. It will also assist with expenses of the lifelong medications necessary to protect against anti-rejection of his new liver.

Your donations will allow Steve, along with his wife, to take the necessary time and focus needed for treatments, surgery and a full recovery. Your kindness and generosity will help ease some of the stress of this financial burden during this very difficult time in their lives.

Steven 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.
