Maylin Needs Our Support!

To make matters worse, Maylin recently discovered that she had been taken off the transplant list at Indiana University Health Transplant until she raises $8-$10,000. She has a potential kidney donor, but that donor is on hold because Maylin needs to have $3,000 in a restricted fund before potential donors can be tested and another $5,000 to $7,000 before she can have the surgery. Since Maylin struggles each month to continue to pay her mortgage and monthly bills, she is not able to put any money into savings and her family isn’t able to help. Her elder son, Kevin, is finishing his B.S. at UCLA, and her younger son Michael has just recently completed a two-year course at IVY tech.

Even with insurance, Maylin will have many out of pocket medical expenses not the least of which is the costly anti-rejection medications that Maylin will have to take for the rest of her life. To help with the financial burden of Maylin’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 Great Lakes Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution and giving Maylin hope for the future.

If we all work together, we can give Maylin hope of a new lease on life and help her realize her dream of a career in dental hygiene. Thank you for your support.
