Eventually diagnosed with a rare and progressive form of severe obstructive and restrictive pulmonary disease, the origin of which remains unknown. In her quest to simply breathe, Anna has researched and explored countless respiratory and holistic therapies over the last few decades. Life has been about survival. Managing her illness has become her full-time job. She has traveled all over the country and to Europe seeking answers and relief. A bilateral lung transplant is now her best option.
With new lungs, Anna has the opportunity to restore her quality of life. To make this happen, Anna needs your help.
The double-lung transplant is expected to cost approximately $1.1 million. And that’s only the beginning. Even with health insurance, Anna still needs to raise over $250,000 to cover transplant costs, follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications needed for the rest of her life. These medications may cost anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 per month, and they are as critical to her survival as the transplant itself.
To ease this financial burden, a fundraising campaign has been established in Anna’s honor with HelpHOPELive (formerly NTAF), a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for nearly 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southwest Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution:Thank you for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Friends of Anna Young

Anna, I learned of your continued struggles last evening. We have made a donation which pales in comparison to our overwhelming thoughts and prayers for you. I think of you and your family often when I walk the Old Bay Road. You have always been a very strong woman. Wishing you the very best Anna, Carol Sweeney and family.
