John has explored the option of stem cell treatments, and feels at this time this is his best treatment option. The type of stem cell treatment he is seeking does not use cells from embryos, but uses cells from John’s own body that are re-harvested and infused back into his body. It is known as a bone marrow stem cell procedure. This is a two-part outpatient procedure and is minimally invasive and is completed over the course of three days. It will give John the ability to be able to breathe better. Each day will require several hours in a doctor’s office. After the stem cells have been collected and reintroduced into his body, they can begin the healing process. At this point, he will be able to return to the comfort of his own home.
John has reached out to help others his whole life. He has been happily married for over 20 years and lives with his loving wife Kathy, in a small town call Maybee, Michigan. John went to Monroe Public schools and graduated from Monroe High in 1975. He has a very strong faith in God and family, and loves music and singing to no end. John has worked hard his whole life and retired from a non-profit organization where he worked for over 30 years. John and Kathy also had surplus food that they gave out from their own home to low income and seniors. They both are very giving and sharing people with great big hearts! Now it is time to help John. John and Kathy are on a fixed income and unfortunately, their health insurance will not cover the cost of a stem cell procedure. John will be also be facing relocation for up to six months to live closer to Davidson Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. He will be facing post-transplant medications, travel and lodging fees, meal fees and up to $1200/month for post-stem cell medications.
To Help with the financial burden of John’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his 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, and held by HelpHOPELive, and are admisnistered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. PLEASE CONSIDER A CONTRIBUTION!
Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity. Keep an eye on this campaign page at because we will be planning some fundraising events soon and posting updates.
Gratefully,
Kathy “Eva” Lini, John’s Wife, Mario Lini, John’s Brother and Assunta Thomas, John’s Sister
Still working at it -- need to lose weight (about 30 pounds) to be listed on the transplant waiting list. Might go for a second injection. It's tough to get past this weight loss plateau. Any tips?
IMPORTANT HEALTH UPDATE FOR JOHN: John is presently undergoing medical testing and evaluation, and working closely with the University of Ann Arbor Hospital to consider evaluation for a lung transplant surgery. John, along with his team of medical professionals, feel as if John's lung health continues to decline. His lung function is deteriorating and John's need for oxygen is growing greater and greater. John is working hard, following his doctor's orders, and has started pulmonary rehab. and an exercise regimen to help with the preparation for his lung transplant. Please keep John in your thoughts and prayers, and most of all consider a financial contribution during this crucial point in his life. Thank you again for your generous support and financial contributions! John will keep you posted with his health and make periodic updates to his page.
