Janie Needs Our Help!

My dear friend, Janie Watson, is very ill and needs a lifesaving liver transplant. Like so many, Janie has worked her whole life in order to someday fulfill her dreams to retire, spend time with her grandkids, help in her ministries, do some fishing and enjoy the outdoors. Yet the moment she was diagnosed with non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver (NASH) and liver failure, her dreams changed to just one thing: to live!

There is no treatment or cure for Janie’s liver disease; if she does not have a liver transplant, she will die. Every day, as she waits for her transplant, her condition continues to deteriorate. Janie has managed a non-profit entity that raises funds to feed children that live in the streets in Romania (where her grandchildren were adopted from) and continues to provide accounting services as her health allows contributing as much as possible to the financial situation she faces. However, even with insurance and having paid into the medical system for decades, and despite her savings and the savings of her family, Janie is still not able to meet all of the medical expenses such as travel to and from the center, relocation for her and a caregiver and post-transplant immunosuppressant medications she will need to take for the rest of her life. Janie needs our help!
