Sam is 48 years old, a wonderful father to our two children, son and good friend to many. Sam worked hard to build a successful construction business but due to his poor health he is no longer able to work, was forced to liquidate his business and now our home to meet his medical and our living expenses.

A transplant is major surgery and also very expensive. Even with insurance there were many expenses that must be covered out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, lab fees and Sam is on a life-time of expensive anti-rejection medications. This is where your help is desperately needed.

A fundraising campaign in Sam’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 North-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a donation today.

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