With full hearts, we share some incredible news. Carole has received her lung transplant! This life-saving gift is something we have all hoped and prayed for, and we are beyond grateful to the medical team, the selfless donor, and each of you who have been sending love and support along the way.
But as we celebrate this milestone, we also know that Carole’s journey is far from over. The road to recovery is long, and the next few months will be some of the hardest yet. Right now, she needs us more than ever.
How we can help Carole now
Carole must remain close to the transplant hospital for months of intensive follow-ups, monitoring, and emergency care. Unfortunately, this comes with overwhelming expenses—far beyond what insurance covers.
We are rallying together to support her with:
✅ A place to stay near the hospital during recovery
✅ Essential medications that are not fully covered
✅ Travel expenses so she’s not alone in this journey
✅ Basic necessities like food and daily living costs while away from home
✅ Medical expenses incurred just to get on the transplant list
These costs now total $24,000, and as much as Carole and Liz hate asking for help, they truly needs us right now.
Carole has always been the kind of person who puts others first—helping friends, family, and even strangers without a second thought. Now, she’s the one who needs a helping hand.
If you know Carole, you know she is the first to step up when someone needs a hand. Whether fixing something around the house, being a rock for a friend, or making us laugh in the hardest moments, she has always given so much of herself to those she loves and cares for.
Now, she’s facing the fight of her life, and we have the chance to give back.
Whatever you can give—whether it’s a donation, sharing this message, or sending her a note of encouragement—it will mean everything to us. No amount is too small, and every single gesture makes a difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of Carole’s story. Your love, generosity, and support mean the world, and we are so grateful to have you in our lives.
With love and gratitude,
Carole & Liz
