The past several years Dorothy has been ill and has not been able to participate in the activities she enjoys as much as she would like too. She was diagnosed with liver cancer in early April 2013 and found out that her only chance of survival is a liver transplant. As of July 2, 2013, Dorothy is officially on the transplant list and the procedure is expected to take place within nine months to a year.
Dorothy has already accrued $10,000 in out-of-pocket expenses and her insurance plan through Michael’s employment does not have prescription coverage. This brings us to the purpose of this letter. Not only is the transplant a major surgical procedure, but the post-transplant anti-rejection medication cost is astronomical. For the first three months post transplant, anti-rejection medication is projected to cost from $5,400 to $8,000 per month depending on how much her body requires. Also, she must relocate for the first thirty days post-transplant which involves a tremendous financial burden in itself as travel, housing, parking fees, and other unexpected expenses add up. During those first 30 days she will have 3 appointments per week with physicians for close monitoring. During all of this her husband Michael will need to take an unpaid leave of absence from his job. As friends and family of the Mathews’ family we can offer our help and prayers during this time. We can also help financially. A fundraising campaign in Dorothy’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the South-Central Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered for transplant-related expenses only. For those who are able and would like to truly bless this family, please:
