Dear Friends and Family,

Steve was initially on the Albany Medical Center transplant waiting list for a kidney. Since moving to south Florida, Steve is now listed at the University of Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital Transplant Institute and The Cleveland Clinic in Weston. He has been on the list for four years now, and is hopefully getting closer to receiving that call. However, even with insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses will run anywhere from $40,000-$50,000 and upwards! His prescription medications will be taken for the duration of his, hopefully, long and healthy life and the cost is astronomical!

To help reduce the financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Steve’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southeast Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please help by making a donation today!

Together we can make a difference by assisting Steve during this difficult time. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

Best regards,
The Amowitz Family
