You never realize how important your lungs are until you’re forced to function without them. I can attest to this personally due to my recent struggles with breathing which led to my diagnosis of Pulmonary Fibrosis. What started a few years ago as a heavy cough and slight shortness of breath soon became an unbearable condition that requires me to be connected to multiple oxygen tanks. I can’t walk up stairs, cook, bathe, or perform other basic daily tasks without becoming winded; many times, I require the assistance of a loved one. A lung transplant is my best chance for a healthy life.
As a licensed RN (Registered Nurse) of twenty plus years, I’m used to taking care of myself and others for a living. I never thought I’d see the day that the tables would turn and I’d have to give up my profession that I love dearly to become a care seeking patient. The transition has been very stressful and difficult to deal with.
I am currently listed for a lung transplant. While organ transplantation is lifesaving, it is also very expensive. Even with insurance, I will have many uninsured transplant related expenses including doctor’s visits and costly immunosuppressant medications that I will have to take for the rest of my life to remain healthy and alive. One of the medications alone is over $1200 per month. The transplant team at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s has recommended fundraising to help with these expenses.
To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in my 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 Mid-Atlantic Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only.
Thank you for considering making a contribution. God bless.
Sincerely,
Natalie Sanderlin

Natalie continues to do well following her transplant. Still not 100%, but she is breathing on her own now. She works with a PT twice a week so that she can get stronger and is no longer in a wheel chair. Natalie send her thanks everyone for all of your support!!
Natalie received her transplant on February 20, 2014 and is on the road to recovery. Natalie and her family greatly appreciate your continued support!
