We are writing to you today on behalf of Amy Sherald. Amy may be your friend, neighbor, colleague, fellow artist or member of your community. Nine years ago, Amy was diagnosed with congestive heart failure while training for a triathlon. Despite taking meticulous care of her health Amy’s heart has weakened and she is now in urgent need of a life-saving heart transplant. Currently she is in the cardiac care unit at Johns Hopkins and will stay there until she receives her new heart.
Amy received her MFA in painting in 2004 from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her work has been shown nationally and internationally. Recent paintings were acquired by the Museum for Women in the Arts in DC for their permanent collection. She is a vibrant member of the arts community, as well as a generous, loyal friend, sister, and daughter with a contagious spirit. It’s almost as if Amy’s heart is just too filled with love and her body cannot handle it.
Now, as Amy awaits her new heart, it is our turn, as her closest friends and family, to make a plea on her behalf. It is time to return the generosity that she has shown all of us. Although Amy has health insurance, there will be many expenses related to the transplant that must be paid out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, and Amy will be on a life-time of expensive anti-rejection medications.
To help alleviate the financial burden of transplantation, a fundraising campaign in Amy’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, held by HelpHOPELive in the Mid-Atlantic Heart Transplant Fund, and administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making an end of year contribution today.Your support is crucial! A fundraising committee has been formed and we are planning several exciting fun events. Any ideas or help you can give is welcome!
On behalf of Amy, her family and all of us, we thank you for your kindness, generosity and prayers.
With Love,
Amy’s Friends
