Dear Friends of Kim,

Kim found her calling when she became a mother, but she also found out something else. During her second pregnancy, Kim was diagnosed with an uncommon blood disorder and Budd Chiari Syndrome, an extremely rare liver disease. These conditions not only require her to take medications for the rest of her life, but also put her fate in the hands of someone she will never even know. Kim’s only chance for long term survival is a full liver transplant from an organ donor.

Kim has been suffering since 2008 and waiting for her chance at a new liver since May 25, 2010. Many, many trips to the doctors and hospital later and the costly medical bills are taking a toll on her family.

To help ease the burden no family can bear alone, we are putting together this fundraising effort. The liver transplant itself is a very expensive procedure and sadly, not all of the costs will be covered by insurance. With lots of appointments, procedures and medications in her future, Kim will certainly need our help.

That’s where this fundraising campaign comes in to play. With the help of HelpHOPELive we will raise money in Kim’s honor. This nonprofit organization has been helping families like the Munozs’ for nearly than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, and held by HelpHOPELive in the South-Central Liver Transplant Fund and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. If you wish to help Kim, then please consider making a contribution.Your support is crucial! A fundraising committee has been formed and we are planning several exciting and fun events. Any ideas or help you can give is welcome!

On behalf of Kim’s husband David and their adorable sons Anthony and Alexander, we thank you for your support and prayers.
