Ted Thomas of Belton, SC, is in need of a kidney/pancreas transplant. Ted was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when he was five years old. Over the years the disease has caused a steady decline in his overall health, including hardening of his heart muscles, 80% paralysis of his stomach & numerous eye surgeries. Now at the age of thirty-six, he has been diagnosed with end-stage renal failure. His doctors now feel it is time to begin the journey toward a kidney/pancreas transplant. Family members have offered to be the living donor but, to date, no match has been found. Now, we need your help.
Transplantation is a stressful and expensive process. Even with medical insurance, there will be many uninsured medically-related expenses. Ted’s family has established a fundraising campaign in his honor with HelpHOPELive. HelpHOPELive is a non-profit organization that has been commited to helping transplant patients and their families for 25 years. All contributions are administered by HelpHOPELive exclusively for uninsured transplant-related expenses. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Won’t you please consider making a donation today?
