Many of you know my loving wife, Kitty Westrope. She is a psychologist, board member, volunteer and good friend to many. Kitty has been battling end stage renal disease for quite a few years. She has been on dialysis since 2009. These dialysis treatments are keeping her alive. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to work full time and is finding it more difficult to do some of the things that always came easily to her.
Kitty’s doctors at the Lehigh Valley Transplant Center have told us that she is in need of a kidney transplant and is now actively listed for this procedure. Not only is a transplant major surgery, it is also very expensive. Even with insurance there are many expenses that must be paid for out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, travel to and from the transplant center, relocation at time of transplant and Kitty will be on a life-time of anti-rejection medications. This puts us up against a challenge we cannot meet alone and desperately need your help.
In order to ease the financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Kitty’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All contributions are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Mid-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. You can help make a difference in Kitty’s life. Please consider making a contribution. Every dollar helps!at the top of the page.
Together we can make a difference by assisting Kitty during this difficult time. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
Best regards,
Larry Westrope
