Transplants are lifesaving, but are financially draining. Even with insurance, Eva will have many uninsured transplant-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles, doctor visits, travel and temporary relocation to be close to the Cleveland Clinic and the costly immunosuppressant medications (approximately $5,000 to $6,000 a month) that she will need to take for the rest of her life.
To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Eva’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the New York Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making and end-of-year tax-deductible donation today by clicking the DONATE NOW bar.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.
Gratefully,
Elizabeth Livesay, Eva’s oldest Daughter
Update time!!!!
So its been awhile. Lots has actually gone on since our amazing benefit we had last February...at the end of last July Eva was admitted into the ER with terrible stomach pains which ended up with a 4 day hospital visit and turned out she needed her appendix removed. She did have a very successful and quick recovery.(Thank the lord for that!) She has still been continuing to work full time which is very hard due to her being constantly fatigued.
Speed up to last week....Mom (Eva) was yet again having very bad stomach pains which resulted in a 3 day hospital stay and ended up being kidney stones (which passed) and some infections in her upper bladder and ureters and fluid in her upper GI tract. shes on anti biotics and is feeling 100x better!
We are still waiting for a match for her kidney. This has turned out to be such a painfully slow waiting process. But we are keeping positive thoughts and vibes and just keep praying that sometime soon we will be able to find a match!
Until our next update!!!!
Well we did it! The benefit on Saturday went without a hitch! We had tons of people, just about 200 baskets and gift cards, and everyone had a great time. We wanted to thank each and every single person who came, donated, and volunteered. All of you made the benefit a success with all of the support we received you. We will be working on some more fundraising ideas for later in the year.
We will also keep everyone posted on our search for a kidney. We are still waiting to hear if my step-dad Michael is a match. (FINGERS CROSSED!!)
Thank you again everyone for all the support. We appreciate it!!!!!!!!
We are a week and a half away from our benefit and I wanted to thank everyone so far who has donated to our mom! We greatly appreciate all the help, prayers, words of encourgement we have received!
Hope to see everyone at the benefit!! :)
We just wanted to thank everyone so far that has made a donation! We greatly appreciate it! We have a few things in the works once the year is over! So please keep checking back for more updates!

Eva you are a very strong and wonderful woman! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I hope that you will find the help you need soon and be able to return to doing all the things you love to do.

Hi Eva, heard about your medical troubles in a Christmas card from your Mom and Dad. I noticed that you hope to have the transplant done at the Cleveland Clinic. I live about 40 minutes away in Painesville, OH and if you need a place to stay for a while, please, please consider staying with Dave and me. Also, I had a kidney operation myself at the Clinic about 7 years ago (one of my ureters was obstructed), and the doctors there were great. I am praying for you and your family, hoping you can soon put all of this behind you and get on with life. You are so strong! Hang in there and keep the faith!
Mindy McCall
Eva--Saw your M&D's note to Mindy. You are in my prayers and I wish you strength to make it through all of this. I'm sorry for schooling you so many times on the basketball court behind the bathrooms (in between people dumping their holding tanks, of course). p.s. You look great!!!
