Needless to say our family was heartbroken with the news. She has always been the type of person who has put everyone else and their needs before her own. She loves to do for others and whatever she can to make them happy.

Her condition has worsened significantly since she was diagnosed last year. She is now seeing a Transplant Team in Charlotte, NC., and is in the evaluation process for a liver transplant. When she completes the evaluation process and the transplant team makes the decision that she is healthy enough and a good candidate to have the transplant she will then be placed on the national transplant waiting list. Once she has the transplant she will then have to temporarily relocate to Charlotte for approximately 4 to 6 weeks so she can be closely monitored by the team for any signs of rejection. She will be placed on anti rejection medications for the rest of her life which can be a big monthly out of pocket expense, not counting the other medical expenses.

That is why we have chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
