Three years ago Sonny was diagnosed with Alpha-1 Anti-Trypsin Disease, an inherited lung disorder. The disease has progressed to the point that he needs a lung transplant. Specialists at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia have determined that Sonny is a good candidate for the procedure.
Transplants are life-saving but very expensive. Sonny is facing many pre- and post-transplant expenses that won’t be covered by insurance. Some of these out-of-pocket costs are co-pays for doctors’ visits, travel and lodging in Virginia for at least six weeks after the transplant and very expensive anti-rejection medications that Sonny will need to take for the rest of his life.
To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Sonny’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, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Mid-Atlantic Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.Your prayers and generosity are greatly appreciated and will help us through this difficult time.
Thank you,
