Family and friends of Ray Kelley are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

Ray Kelley was a remodel carpenter in the Wichita Ks area for over 25 years. In the last six years of working, Ray started his own business. He is a master craftsman and artist. He loved the challenge of remodeling; especially kitchens and bathrooms.

In January 2017 Ray was hospitalized for pneumonia and influenza. While in the hospital, Ray had a stroke. He was treated quickly and thankfully, does not have any deficits from the stroke. Ray contracted another (3rd) lung infection during his hospital stay. The doctors diagnosed him with advanced COPD. He has been reliant upon oxygen to assist him with breathing since.
