Melvin Needs Your Help!

Melvin has worked very hard his whole life, and held a job for Cytec for over 44 years. He recently retired and unfortunately has spent his free time attending dialysis and doctor’s appointments. Melvin will receive the selfless gift of life from his wife Angela, during the month of February, at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. While this surgery will be lifesaving, the costs are more than Melvin and Angela can handle alone. Even with health insurance, Melvin is facing very high medical expenses such as co-pays and deductibles, transportation and travel fees, donor surgery expenses, and anti-rejection medications that Melvin will need for the rest of his life.

To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Melvin’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 Mid-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Your financial gifts and prayers will be greatly appreciated. Melvin and Angela appreciate your generosity and support, and any donation, no matter how big or how small, is a blessing for Melvin and Angela.

With sincere gratitude,

Irvin S. Johnson, Sr., Fundraising Campaign Coordinator
