Siyo! My name is Stacia Littledave. 59 years old and living in Claremore, Oklahoma. I was diagnosed with COPD in 2002. Idiopathic Pulmonary Disease, Interstitial Lung Disease, along with other diseases associated with, were diagnosed shortly after and have altered my life completely! It has disrupted my family dynamics, finances and everyday activities. I’m unable to work and live with my daughter because I can’t live on my own now and my oxygen intake has increased considerably this past year. Because of this, I am a double lung transplant candidate hoping to be placed on the list very soon.
My family sometimes refer to me as the “Matriarch of our tribe”. My mother passed this honor down to me when she passed in 2004 of Pulmonary Fibrosis. I will continue to fight because there are still stories to pass on, memories to be made, and 10 grandchildren to watch graduate and marry.
If you are able, please consider helping as we, (my family and I), cope with the financial challenges for pre and post surgery costs. Your contribution will help cover out of pocket and co pay expenses as well as living expenses for post transplant. It is required that I live in Oklahoma City for 3 months with a full time caretaker and take very expensive anti-rejection drugs for the rest of my life.
It’s a lot! It’s overwhelming! But my family and friends help me face each day with hope! Thank you, and I will be grateful to you always!
