Help Hope Live for Richard Graham

Family and friends of Richard Graham are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with a Transplant and colorectal surgeries. Richard has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because donations are tax deductible for contributors and will only be used to cover medical and related expenses.

Richard has an autoimmune disease called Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) a chronic liver disease where the bile ducts become inflamed and scarred, leading to bile buildup and liver damage.   He is in acute liver failure and is currently on the liver transplant list.  He also has ulcerative colitis, valley fever, and precancer cells in his colon.  Due to the precancer, he will need to have his colon removed after he has healed from the liver transplant. This will require 3 additional surgeries over a 6 month time period.
