Lillian Straksys is 61 years old and very ill. She has end-stage renal disease and has been on dialysis for over three years. Her only option for a long and healthy life is a kidney transplant. Lillian is a kind person who needs the help of family and friends because transplants, while life-saving are financially draining.
Lillian grew up in Detroit, Michigan. Her parent and two sisters immigrated from Lithuania after World War II. She attended Rosary High School, and completed a Bachelor of Science at Central Michigan University. She moved to Philadelphia and received her degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Pennsylvania. Lillian worked full time as a physical therapist until June 2014. With a transplant, she plans on returning to work as a physical therapist. Lillian lives with her daughter, Elena and Elena’s husband, Onesimus. Her family is committed to do whatever is necessary to assist with a kidney transplant to ensure a great outcome.
Even with insurance, Lillian is facing high out-of-pocket expenses. The costs of post-transplant medications can be as much as $1,200 a month with co-pays and lab fees and Lillian will have to take the anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life.
To help with the financial burden of Lillian’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution.
Thank you in advance for your kind support. Every donation helps.
Gratefully,
The family of Lillian Straksys, [email protected]
I am going to U C Davis in Sacramento to see transplant team. My last visit went well, but it was after the nephrectomy,May 29,2015.
Thank you to all my supporters, by donating to my transplanted kidney goal of 5000.00$
Only 2,100$ to go.. I like even numbers
i am recovering at a steady rate after my left kidney was removed 5/29. I was the first patient UC Davis professionals saw get out of bed on the first day of surgery.
I started physical therapy today! I see surgeon tomorrow.
I have attended dialysis since January 19, 2012. I am the mother of two daughters. We have 4 dogs and 3 cats that roam our home.
I wish to be around for my grandchildren. I would help others that find themselves in this situation. I have met the medical criteria;To receive transplant I must have financial resources to pay for medication. Any help for me to reach this goal is greatly appreciated.
Hello Lili, you should have another $100.00 this was from Humana they matched our contribution. Hope you doing well. Love, Christie & Leo Balciunas
