Winston is a native of Hartford Connecticut, and a 1976 graduate of the Loomis Chaffee preparatory school. He now lives in Columbia, South Carolina. He has been married to his loving and supportive wife of fourteen years, Audrey Keith-Wilson. Winston enjoys cooking, grilling and entertaining family and friends. His hobbies include keeping computers running at optimum processing speeds, landscaping and gardening.
Winston earned an Associate’s Degree in Computer Technology in 1995 and transferred to Grand Canyon University where he graduated with a BS in Applied Management (with honors). Companies he worked for include Home Depot, Belk’s, Wal-Mart, Sprint, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Policy Management Systems, and Time Warner Cable TV. Winston has also volunteered his time at various hospital support roles, and one day hopes to earn a Master’s of Business Administration degree with emphasis in Health Care Systems Management. However, Winston’s goals are on hold until her receives the gift of life through a lifesaving kidney transplant, and he desperately needs your help!
While Winston undergoes extensive medical testing to be actively listed at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), he continues to face out-of-pocket medical expenses related to his condition. Co-pays and deductibles, caregiver fees, insurance premiums, medical appointments, lab costs, travel and lodging fees continue to rise. He will also be required to take costly post-transplant medications after transplant, for the rest of this life. These expenses are adding up and Winston cannot do it alone.
To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Winston’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live, 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 to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the South Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
Winston has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.

Thank you for your support!
A required psychological profile was completed June 30, 2016, at MUSC, Charleston. It has been determined that I have the mental capacity to cope with the rigors of a kidney transplant.
One test / CT scan pending my being considered to be listed on the national kidney organ bank waiting list as of 09/14/2015.
The results from a recent (7/14/15) echo cardiogram and nuclear heart stress test were negative; I have a 'good' heart. Pending a final vaccination in December 2015, most, if not all requirements will be satisfied to be listed on the Kidney organ transplant waiting list for a suitable donor.
Initial fund raising goal has been set at $50,000 US dollars. Insurance co-pays for both health care, prescriptions, food, lodging and transportation will be the primary cost drivers.
Thank You,
Winston Wilson
