Jennifer is focused on the future. With the support of her family, and her wonderful Eric, she continues to work full time and care for Ella as her health allows. She wants what everyone wants, a home, a career, a family, the ability to live completely without having to rely on dialysis to survive.
Currently Jennifer is on the kidney transplant list at the Thomas E. Starzl Kidney Transplant Center at Montefiore hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The wonderful news is her brother, Jared Mowl, has been tested, approved and will be her living donor. As the date rapidly approaches for the transplant we are all trying to anticipate what Jennifer and Jared’s needs will be.
Due to the extraordinary expense of transplantation, funding a transplant is a monumental task. Jennifer does have health insurance yet she will face expenses beyond what insurance covers. These include transportation, lodging, as we live outside of the safe travel parameter, medications and Jared’s living donor medical costs.
To help offset these uninsured costs, a fundraising campaign in Jennifer’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All contributions are tax-deductible, are held in the Mid-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. You can make a difference in Jen’s Life. Please consider making a contribution.Thank you for helping Jennifer put dialysis in her past and renewed health in her future.

Update
As of today Friday Feb 22, everything is going amazingly well. Jared has been at home since Wednesday. Other then a little pain he is healing up great. Jen finished up her last super dose of anti-rejection medicine yesterday afternoon then was released immediately following. She will go back to get her labs drawn for a couple days. Everything is functioning wonderfully. Thank you for all the kind words, thoughts and support.
