Gerry is on a kidney transplant waiting list, and she is looking for a possible kidney donor match. If you would consider this selfless and heroic act by donating one of your kidneys, a simple blood test will verify if you are a potential candidate to be a living kidney donor for Gerry. Once she finds a matching kidney donor, Gerry’s transplant will become a reality and her life will be saved! If you are interested, please contact Liz Blakley at The Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri at (816) 822-8257.

Transplants are lifesaving, but funding this life-saving procedure is a monumental task. Gerry continues to have many out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by her health insurance: co-pays and deductibles, travel and lodging fees, health insurance premiums, and many other incidental expenses are adding up to more than Gerry can handle alone. She will also be required to take costly anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life, which can cost up to $2000 per month. Gerry needs your help and wants nothing more than to wake up each morning knowing she can spend another day with her loving husband, family and the Lord.

To help with the financial burden of Gerry’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her 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 Midwest/West Kidney Transplant Fund and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Gerry’s struggle and return to good health. On behalf of Gerry and her husband, Dennis, we thank you for your kind participation in this fund raising effort.

Gratefully Yours,

Larry Wright, a family friend
