Kim Novick Needs a Kidney Transplant

After many healthy and wonderful years, Kim’s transplanted kidney is now beginning to fail. She is looking at a future of dialysis again or another transplant. Fortunately, for Kim, she has an amazing friend, Wendy. Wendy, who had witnessed the first round of illness, dialysis, and transplant, understood that Kim was in trouble. Wendy realized that she was a perfect candidate to help her friend, and resolved that this was what she wanted to do. Miraculously, Wendy has tested as being a close match for Kim.

Kim is fortunate to have supportive family and friends, but transplants, however, are extremely expensive, and costs can be devastating. Even with insurance, the cost of uninsured transplant expenses can be staggering for things such as: high deductibles, co-payments for the multiple doctors’ appointments, immunosuppressant medications for life, travel expenses, and medical supplies.

To help with some of these uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in Kim’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for over 30 years. All contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Mid-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. When considering your donation, please think of Dani’s and Wendy’s generosity.
