Henry is home and adjusting to a whole new life. We are so thankful for this wonderful gift. At the last minute the Primary insurance refused to pay for the donors hospital charges and operation. We then had to revert to the 2nd insurance and have a copay of over $200 per night for the hospital stay. We are in need of donations. Please donate to help with this cost.

Thanks to all who have donated. Shashona

So happy to have a new kidney for my husband and his life back. He has already changed so much. I wanted to let everyone know that at the last minute the primary insurance backed out and would not cover costs for the donor. We then had to use the 2nd insruance for the donor which means we now have over a $1,500 copay for the time he was in the hospital. Funds in the help hope live bank have been used to help with travel, food, relocation, copays for meds and other transplant fees. Please donate so that we can get the $1,500 copay taken care of . ( The help hope live fund counter does not go down as funds are used it only shows amount raised to date.) Please help to finish this process up. Thanks Shashona

Transplant has been authorized. Henry's levels are down. We should be hearing shortly on a date for the surgery. A special Thanks for all the family that stayed strong and encouraged us during this horrible waiting period.

October 8, 2014

Wanting to let everyone know we are still playing dective and trying to find out what is causing Henry's levels to raise. Its a very frustrating process. Today Henry will do another blood test to see if improvement has been made. Thanks to family who have been helping to try to figure out this mystery. Donations are still needed so that when transplant is set we are ready. Please Donate today. Send prayers. Shashona

September 25, 2014

We have recieved some testing back. Henry had some elevation in liver enzymes which was the reason surgery was cancelled. All testing prior to that point was good and showed he was ready for transplant. This was a huge shock and stress to the family. However Uncle Jim and Henry are blazing a trail of positive thoughts to get ready to transplant. Last test indicated that the levels had lowered. We hope to be transplanting beginning of November. Please donate extra costs had occured due to this bump in the road. Send Prayers. Shashona

We have encountered a very tough bit of news today. Henry has some things that are going on that will need further testing right now surgery on monday is cancelled.

Transplant is right around the corner! Take action now and donate.

As many of you know, Henry Schoenbeck, just 39 years old, has been battling end-stage renal disease for several years. After undergoing years of grueling dialysis, doctors determined that he needs a kidney transplant to survive. On September 15, 2014 he will receive the gift of life from his uncle, Jim Schoenbeck.

Henry’s kind and courageous Uncle Jimmy has gone through rigorous testing at the Swedish Hospital Medical Center and has been determined to be a match. He feels honored to have such an opportunity to help his nephew in this loving, selfless way. Henry and his wife, Shashona and their three girls, Coral, Lilly and Kayla are so very grateful and feel blessed to have him in their lives. Uncle Jimmy has been a rock through this very difficult time and is now making preparations for transplant alongside Henry. Now Henry and Jim need a little of your help.

Transplantation is life-saving but very expensive, and costs can be devastating. Even though Henry's insurance will cover the bulk of his procedure, there are many uninsured costs such as: co-payments for multiple doctor appointments, travel, relocation, medical supplies and donor expenses. Uncle Jim and his wife Denise will be traveling from California to Washington and will be staying in the state for 16 days incurring costs for rent and travel.

To help with the financial burden of Henry’s uninsured expenses and those of his donor, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Northwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution today.

Together we can make a difference. Please keep Henry and Jim in your prayers.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
