Even with insurance, a transplant is life-saving, but very expensive. Funds are needed to cover the costs of the donor’s travel, hardship expenses due to time off from work, and other miscellaneous out-of –pocket medical expenses incurred as part of donating a kidney. I can also utilize this fund for out-of-pocket expenses including medications, deductibles, co-pays and caregiver expenses.

To help with the financial burden of my uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in my 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 North-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a making contribution to support Kathleen.

There are not enough words out there to express my thanks to you all. Your prayers and support have been wonderful.

God Bless you,

Kathleen
