Help HOPE Live for Arnetta Right
Dear Friends, Family and Community:
My wife, Arnetta Wright is very ill. After years of struggling with polycystic liver and kidney disease, we were told by her doctors at Methodist Dallas Medical Center that she needed a life-saving liver transplant. On September 15, 2015, Arnetta received a Liver Transplant and she’s currently battling acute liver rejection. Please donate today.
Arnetta, who is a loving and caring wife, mother of four, and grandmother is the kindest person you’d ever hope to meet. Arnetta grew up in Houston and graduated from Ross Sterling High School. She went on to the University of Texas at Arlington where she studied English, then Texas Woman’s University where she earned her MBA.
After spending years in the corporate world, Arnetta suffered a spinal cord injury that forced her to take a leave of absence. Just as things were beginning to look up, she was given the devastating news that she needs a liver transplant. Arnetta is eagerly looking forward to returning to work and helping others. After many years of helping others, Arnetta is now the one who needs your help. Transplants are life-saving but financially draining. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that must be covered out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, lab fees and transportation to and from the hospital. In addition, Arnetta will be on a life-time of expensive anti-rejection medications. This is where your help is desperately needed.
A fundraising campaign in Arnetta’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 South-Central Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only.

On behalf of Arnetta, myself and our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.

Truly blessed! My Liver Transplant allowed us to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary with our family and friends on July 2, 2016, witness the birth of two more beautiful grandbabies, experience the joy of watching our youngest son graduate from high school and enter college, support our daughter while she competes in swimming all year round, care for my elderly mother each day, celebrate our oldest sons accomplishments, and praise God every day. Despite continuing to fight complications and infections, every day is a gift from God and I’m truly thankful!
Thank you for your support, prayers, love, and donations, Arnetta

Doing great! Four months out from my liver transplant and no signs of rejection this month. Praise God!
November 14, 2015
Spoke to my Transplant Coordinator late this evening, numbers look good, no signs of rejection. However, one of the liver's enzymes is high but they're recheck it on Monday. For now, they're going to keep me on the high level of Prograf. Just coping with all side effects from the medicines: trimmers, horrible pain, thrush, weakness, and head aches, which is nothing compared to what I've been through. God is so amazing and I'm just pushing through it. Can't wait to get all this behind me.

Trusting and putting all my faith in God. Today, we met with the doctor and the 10 hours per day for 10 days Thymoglobulin treatment worked, my immune system is no longer attacking my new liver. And I'm still showing ZERO signs of rejection. All labs are NORMAL. Praise God!
