Jim received the telephone call that would save his life, and on Tuesday October 27th, 2015, a true miracle happened! Jim received the gift of life through a lifesaving heart transplant; and while he is still recovering and has a long way to go, each and every day he survives is truly a blessing. Jim has been married to his loving wife, Jan for over 39 years. They have three wonderful and supportive children together, and three grandchildren who are his pride and joy. Seeing his grandchildren grow up is the one thing Jim truly looks forward to in the years to come. Jim worked hard very hard his whole life to support his family, and served on a local County Board of Supervisors for many years. He even raised buffalo and had a restaurant with his wife Jan, and is still currently involved with Virginia Cares and the Re-Entry Council which will help ex-offenders assimilate back into society and the work force. However, Jim’s main passion for the last several years, has been reintroducing industrial hemp for economic farming development. After many years of helping others, Jim desperately needs your help.
There was little time to prepare financially for his transplant, and Jim and his family are facing mounting out-of-pocket medical and transplant-related expenses. Co-pays and deductibles, medical bills, health insurance premiums, caregiver fees, doctor appointments, and living expenses are quickly adding up. Jim is also required to take costly, post-transplant anti-rejection medications that he will need for the rest of his life. Jim is asking for your financial help, and to reach out during this time of need.
Jim has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive 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.

Gratefully,
Jim’s loving family and friends

Jim is now able to speak, as his medical team placed a "speaking valve" in his trach, as he is slowly being weaned from the ventilator. Jim was able to speak his first words since his transplant -- he said "hello" to his dear wife and told the nurse he had a "headache". While this a small improvement in his health, it is a good sign that Jim's recovery is progressing. This past Sunday, Jim was even able to enjoy the outdoors for the first time in many months.
