Michael has a heart of gold and has reached out to help others in need his entire life. He earned a psychology degree out of college and worked as the detox coordinator and counselor for those struggling with alcohol dependency. Michael has always made it a priority to help those less fortunate than him. He even volunteers at the local hospital with others who have COPD and is even active in promoting public awareness of his medical condition. Michael relies on oxygen 24/7 to breathe, however despite his difficulties, he has been doing everything he can to live a healthy and active lifestyle as he awaits for his transplant. Michael vigorously exercises up to four days/week and has even adopted an anti-inflammatory diet which has helped both his overall physical and emotional wellbeing. Michael looks forward to his lung transplant surgery and the recuperation process; he is committed that this opportunity will bring him a new lease on life, and he is ready to make the best of each and every day!
Even with health insurance, Michael will face many out-of-pocket medical expenses related to his transplant. Co-pays and deductibles, caregiver fees, medical appointments, and more are expected to add up to tens of thousands of dollars. While Michael has many dear friends and acquaintances, he has no close family left to help him with his medical financial needs.Michael needs over $5,000 per year for post-transplant anti-rejection medications that he will need for the rest of his life. In addition, he will need to relocate to a temporary residence after his surgery and reside closer to the hospital for quite some time.
To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Michael’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 Midwest/West Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
For credit card contributions, please call 800.642.8399 or select the “Donate Now” button on this page.
Thank you for your generosity and prayers — with your donation, no matter how big or how small, Michael’s transplant will be a huge success!
Gratefully,
Gilbert Romero, Michael’s best friend, 970-576-0963
