Help Hope Live for Robert Gage

Help Robert Gage: A Brother, Son, and Uncle in Need of a Lifesaving Liver TransplantIn October 2023, our lives changed forever when my brother, Robert Gage, was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver due to fatty liver disease. At just 40 years old, Robert has always been the rock of our family—an unwavering brother, a devoted son, and a loving uncle. He’s the kind of man who thrives on giving, whether it’s taking his nieces to Disneyland or being the first to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Now, it’s our turn to support him.As a hardworking individual, Robert has always prided himself on his independence. He’s dedicated to his job and has been a constant source of strength for our family. But as his health has deteriorated, he’s faced challenges he never anticipated. The progression of his disease has taken a toll, forcing him to step back from work and deal with brain fog and confusion that make everyday tasks overwhelming.Robert is currently in the process of qualifying for the transplant list at UCLA, and while this is a hopeful step, the road ahead is fraught with uncertainty. Liver transplants come with significant medical expenses that can quickly escalate, leaving families grappling with financial burdens on top of emotional distress.Robert is the kind of person who hates to ask for help. He would rather give the shirt off his back than reach out for support. But we know he needs us now more than ever. He dreams of regaining his health so he can focus on starting his own family and continue being a pivotal presence in the lives of his nieces and nephews.We are launching a fundraising campaign to help cover medical expenses, necessary treatments, and the costs associated with the transplant process. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving Robert the second chance he deserves.Please consider supporting Robert in this challenging time. Share his story, spread the word, and, if you can, donate to help us lift him up. Together, we can show Robert that he’s not alone in this fight—that we stand beside him, just as he’s always stood for us.Let’s rally for Robert, a man who has always given so much to others. It’s time for us to give back.Robert has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses.

Update on Robert ❤️We finally have some encouraging news to share!Based on his symptoms and medical evaluation, Robert has officially been accepted onto the UCLA liver transplant list. We are also actively working to get him approved for the transplant lists at Stanford and UCSF, giving him every possible opportunity to receive the life-saving transplant he desperately needs.Because of his diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma HCC, Robert’s priority on the transplant list is expected to increase after six months, bringing him one step closer to receiving a new liver.This journey has already been incredibly long, and we know there is still a difficult road ahead. Through it all, Robert continues to work despite the overwhelming exhaustion and daily symptoms that come with liver disease and cancer. Like anyone facing this battle, the financial burden of medical bills and ongoing care continues to grow, but somehow he still manages to remain optimistic, compassionate, and the kind-hearted man we all know and love.Right now, Robert is looking forward to something that means more to him than anything else—family. He’s counting down the days until he can spend much-needed time with his sister Jennie and her two children. He can’t wait to finally meet his newest niece, Charlotte, and make more memories with Wyatt. Family is everything to Robert, and he continues to fight every single day for more time with his mom, sisters, nieces, and nephew.Although these visits often leave him exhausted, we cherish every moment together and do everything we can to make those moments count.Robert’s greatest hope is simple: to receive his transplant so he can live a long, healthy life and stop missing the milestones that matter most. Cancer has already taken so much from him, including the chance to watch his niece Hailey graduate as her high school’s valedictorian because he had to undergo an important medical procedure that same day. Those are moments you can never get back, and they remind us why this fight is so important.Your continued love, prayers, donations, and shares are helping us move closer to giving Robert the future he deserves—a future filled with family, celebrations, and countless memories with the people he loves most.Please continue to keep Robert in your prayers, leave him a message of encouragement, or simply share his story. Every act of kindness helps more than you know.From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside our family through this journey. We are hopeful that the next update will bring even more life-changing news for my little brother and lifelong best friend.I hope the next update is an even bigger celebration. Wishing the best for Robert and your entire family.
