While the gift of a transplant is lifesaving it is very financially draining and I don’t want my mom to have that stress as well. Even with insurance, there are many out-of-pocket expenses including copays for doctor and hospital visits, and the very expensive post-transplant medications that she will have to take for the rest of her life. Also, she will be on a limited income while she is healing and recuperating from the surgery. We would also like to offer any potential donors assistance with their out-of-pocket expenses as they would be doing us a great deed and they should not have to struggle.
To help with the financial burden of Cheryl’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 Northwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution.
Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity.
Gratefully,
Cheryl’s daughter
A very wonderful person passed away in July and I received one of the Kidneys they wanted donated. I don't know who it was or really anything about them. I am just grateful that they signed up to be a donor. So far I am doing quite well. There have been a couple of complications but all in all it has been great. Not having to be on dialysis is an incredible feeling of freedom. I'm looking forward to a healthy future with my family. Thank you everyone that has donated to me the funds have helped me pay for all the meds I get to take now.. approximately 50 - 60 pills a day. I hear that that will go down as time goes on.
wonderful news, I got my transplant on July 13. The surgery went well and I was home in 4 days, Now recovery begins. So far so good, no complications.
Please consider still donating to me. Its going to be several weeks before I go back to work and Oregon doesn't offer short term disability nor does my office. I have some really nice writing pens that I am selling if you are interested in a pen and donate to me I would be happy to send you some. They are purple and have a smile on them and say "smile, it confuses people"
I had my first call from OHSU, they had a donor cadaver kidney match for me, but after the biopsy they said it wasn't a good kidney. But this means I'm at the top of the list now. I will be getting a transplant very, very soon.
I am ready mentally, but financially I am still a long ways off. I won't have any income should I'm recovering. Oregon does not have short term disability and my company doesn't have that as a benefit. I'm not sure what people are expected to do. In California the state has short term disability and I thought every state had it. So as my operation date looms ever sooner I will ask again for a little help, even a little helps.
Happy New Year!!! This will be the year for me, I've been waiting for 2 years now for this Kidney. Lots of people are praying for me and I feel so ready to go to OHSU and walk out with a new lease on life. I haven't reached even half my financial goal yet but I won't let that stop me. I know things will work out I just have to have faith.
I want to thank everyone that has donated to me, I appreciate the love and concern you shared with your contribution.
Im so ready to be done with Dialysis, I want this transplant and soon. Im still along way from my financial goal. Please consider donating to me. Even a small amount will help, if alot of people help in small amounts it will add up.
This is so amazing seeing donations grow. It fills me with such a hopeful feeling. I go to OHSU at the end of the month to meet with surgeons. This makes me feel my time is getting close. Thank you everyone for all the help and hope you are giving me.
Sorry, not much but enough for you and Skylah to get a Starbucks together and hang out :) Love ya and hope to see you soon!
