Anthony Needs a Transplant and Needs Your Help

Anthony and I have been married for nine years and he has two daughters, ages 20 and 24. He has been active in the church all his life and was ordained a deacon eight years ago. He loves to sing in the church choir. Anthony worked as a corrections officer until his declining health forced him to resign. He hopes that after a transplant, he will be able to return to work and to salt water fishing!

Currently, Anthony is on the wait list for a kidney transplant. Despite having Medicare and Medicaid, many of his medical needs must be paid for out-of-pocket. These include necessary pre-surgery dental work and very high co-pays for post-transplant lifelong anti-rejection medications. Though transplants are life-saving, they are very expensive, which is why we are reaching out for your help.

To help with these medical expenses, a fundraising campaign in Anthony’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the South-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant- related expenses only. You can make a difference in Anthony’s life. Please consider a contribution.

Thank you for any help you can give to assist Anthony through this difficult time.
