Dear Family and Friends,

We need your help! The cost of the transplant surgery itself is staggering. The cost of survival is even more expensive. Kathy must raise $12,000 before the hospital will place her on the active transplant waiting list.

Even with insurance there are many expenses that must be paid out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, travel and relocation to Duke at the time of transplant and Kathy will be on a life-time of very expensive anti-rejection medications. This puts us up against a challenge we cannot meet alone.

A fundraising campaign in Kathy’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 South-Atlantic Heart Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please make a donation today.

We are grateful for your consideration in our desperate attempt to give Kathy a second chance at life. Any gift will be greatly appreciated.

On behalf of Kathy, James and our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.

The Family of Kathy Jones-Watson
