Dear Family & Friends,

We are up against a challenge that we cannot meet alone and need your help. As many of you may know, Jennifer, who is 26 years old, and Jon, who is 21 years old, have had liver transplants. Jon was transplanted at 2 years old and Jennifer had her first transplant at 7 years old, and her second at 16 years old. They were born with an undefined liver disease that destroyed their native livers and required a liver transplant to save their lives.

Jen and Jon both require regular labwork, checkups with their transplant team and twice daily medications. These are things that will be ongoing for the rest of their lives. We still have about 150 cookbooks that we need to sell to raise funds for these ongoing expenses. The cookbooks for $10 each. Shipping is an addtional $2.50. Please consider purchasing a cookbook to help Jen & Jon meet these expenses.

Since 2006 Jon has had several medically tough years that included fighting a second unrelated liver disease. He is stable liver wise but in 2011 Jon was told that he will likely require another transplant in the future. In March of 2012 an EGD revealed that he has had a progression in esophageal varices and more damage to his esophagus from reflux. He requires lab work every 3 months and sees his transplant team once or twice each year. He is also maintained on 4 medications daily.

Jen has had many complications over the years including the need for a second liver transplant. In January of 2011 she was diagnosed with strictures (narrowing) in her bile ducts. After a fail attempt to place a stent she is currently being monitored thru labs. If her liver tests start to show her liver is distressed she will require stent placement under general anesthetic. Jennifer has the additional burden of keeping mediation levels high enough to prevent liver rejection, but not so high that her kidney function is compromised. She requires lab work once a month, sees her transplant team 3 to 4 times a year. Jen is maintained on 9 medications daily.

With both of them in need of medical care, this is an ongoing burden for our family. Combined, their uninsured medical expenses are over $12,000 per year.

It is our goal to raise $25,000. A campaign in Jennifer and Jon’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a nonprofit organization that has provided assistance to transplant patients and their families for over 30 years.

Jen is now 33 years old & 16 years post second liver transplant. She is experiencing many health issues and as a result is unable to work. She applied almost five years ago for disability and is still waiting on a final decision. She still has a great deal reoccurring medical expenses each month.

Jon is 28 years and is almost 26 post liver transplant. He does have some ongoing health issues but at the present time his liver function is stable.

We are still seeking funds for medications, insurance premiums, co-pays, deductibles and travel costs. These will life long expenses for both Jen and Jon.

Cookbooks still available - funds are low

The funds in Jen & Jon's account are very low, less than $100. We still have about 150 cookbooks available for purchase. They are 12.50 which includes $2.50 for shipping. Currently this is our only fund raiser. Please consider purchasing one to help replenish their account. The cookbooks would make great Christmas presents.

Need funds for Cobra premiums

Jen will turn 26 on February 20th and will no longer be eligible for coverage under her father's insurance. She can elect for Cobra coverage but the premiums are $740 PER MONTH!

She recently completed a CNA class and took her state certification tests. She is still waiting on the results of the state tests but is hopeful she passed and will soon be able to find employment. Reguardless of how long it takes to find a job it will be several months before she would be eligible for insurance so she has to get Cobra insurance for her medical care.

Just two of her medications alone would be $1500 per month if she loses her insurance, not to mention approximately $1000 for labs per month.

We still have cookbooks available to sell. They are $10 each. If shipping is needed there is an additional $2 charge. We have 150 cookbooks left. If we could sell all we'd have enough for 2 months of Cobra for Jen.

Won't you please help us help Jen?

New need for Jennifer - Cookbooks still available

In January 2011 Jen was diagnosed with a stricture(narrowing)in her bile ducts. After an attempt to place a stent failed she is being monitored by labs. Should her liver show further distress another stent placement will be done under general anesthetic. Afterwards Jen would need replacement stenting every few weeks for six months to a one year time frame.

All this requires labs and checkups more often than usual. This is an additional burden for our family. We could really use help with selling the cookbooks we have on hand. The price has been reduced to $10 per book plus $2.50 for shipping.
