Dear Family and Friends,
Many of you know Jayme Mirsky. She has been living in Florida for 39 years, 36 of them as a resident of Coral Springs. Jayme has been married to her husband Stu for 37 years and is the loving mother of three daughters and three granddaughters.
What you may not know is that she needs a lifesaving liver transplant. Jayme wasn’t feeling quite right a few months back. She went to her doctors for a series of tests only to learn she had a malignant tumor on her liver. They scheduled surgery to remove it for September 30, 2013. As Jayme was signing in for the surgery at 5:30 AM, she was given more unexpected and shocking news. Due to a pre-existing medical condition, the only health insurance Jayme was able to get was severely inadequate, so the hospital required a $25,000 co-pay upfront! Her husband scrambled to get a credit card company to allow a large charge in order for the surgery to proceed.
That was not the last ordeal they would face that day. During surgery, the doctor made the decision to abort the operation due to the size and location of the tumor. The removal would take away too much of her liver, a liver already in a weakened state making recovery to a healthy life unlikely. He said Jayme will need a liver transplant to survive!
Jayme and Stu find themselves against a challenge they cannot face alone. In addition to the $25,000 paid out-of-pocket for an operation that did not benefit Jayme, they are now being told nearly $200,000 is required as the co-pay to be paid upfront just to be listed! Jayme is a kind, warm, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to so many people who think the world of her and will do whatever they can to help her raise the money for this transplant.
To help ease this enormous monetary burden, a fund raising campaign in Jayme’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 Southeast Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant related expenses only. If you wish to help Jayme, and are able to, please consider making a contribution.

Hi Jayme and Stu.
I am so sorry you are going through this difficult time emotionally and financially. Having a diagnosis of cancer is bad enough without any additional burdens. I know you have many supporters trying to help you reach your goal; I am honored to add my name and my children's to your list.
Your sister Shelley is one of your most enthusiastic cheerleaders.
We will be cheering for you too! Staying positive is a vital part of your recovery.
Fondly,
