When Amy first learned of her diagnosis, she said, “I will beat this!” She is a positive and upbeat woman, caring and selfless. Amy is a true warrior, and we admire and support her spirit to overcome her condition. Amy is a mother, daughter, sister, volunteer, “prankster” and avid U2 fan with an outrageous sense of humor! She honorably served in the US Navy and is proud to have served her Country. She is the mother of 3 awesome teenagers, Madison, Lydia and Sam and has spent every waking moment of her life caring, loving and being available for her children 24/7.
With the support of her family, Amy has been in the ICU at the University of North Carolina Medical Center, awaiting her new lease on life — a double lung transplant. The medical center in North Carolina is over 2 hours away from her children and family. Amy spends her days walking and getting stronger to keep her heart and body ready for her transplant. While she is VERY grateful to be active on the transplant list, Amy’s out-of-pocket medical expenses are quickly mounting to more than she can handle alone.
Co-pays and deductibles, travel and lodging fees, medical appointments, health insurance premiums, and anti-rejection medications that Amy will need for the rest of her life are expected to cost well over $2000/month. While many of Amy’s friends and family members have generously offered their help over the past few months, she now needs financial assistance and help with her out-of-pocket medical expenses and her rapidly accumulating bills.
Any donation, no matter how big or how small, is truly a gift and one step closer to a successful outcome for Amy!
Gratefully,
Allyson Taylor, Amy’s loving sister

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support! I was transplanted on 5/9/15 with a perfect set of new lungs! I feel outstanding! I no longer need supplemental oxygen or a wheelchair! I am getting my life back!! I am so overjoyed to be given this second chance at life! It wouldn’t be possible without God, my donor, my transplant team, the staff at UNC Hospital Chapel Hill, my family, my friends, and the wonderful people from Alexander County!! Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart!! Every breath is a gift…..
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!! Your generosity and kindness mean so much to me! I am doing well, just waiting on the perfect set of lungs! Thank you again for all of your support and love!! I love you all!!
