Kevin’s doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida have told us that he is in immediate need of a life-saving lung transplant. There is no other option. We are now up against a challenge that we cannot meet alone and desperately need your help.

Financing this procedure is overwhelming and a monumental task. There are many pre- and post-transplant related expenses that are not covered by insurance. Some of these are traveling expenses for pre- and post-surgery evaluations, relocation expenses at the time of transplant and for about 3 months post-transplant. In addition, Kevin will be on a life-time of very expensive anti-rejection medications. At times like this, the help of friends, family, and community is greatly needed and appreciated to make the outcome successful. Kevin needs to raise $22,300 for the transplant to happen. Thanks for your support.

To assist with these out-of-pocket expenses, a fundraising campaign in Kevin’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 Great-Lakes Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only.
