Aaron Loy

Help Aaron fight his catastrophic illness.

While away at college in November 2013, Aaron became ill with an extremely aggressive strain of Neisseria (bacterial) meningitis for which there is not a U.S. approved vaccine. While meningococcal disease is often fatal, doctors were able to save Aaron’s life but unfortunately had to amputate both his lower legs after the meningitis led to sepsis (blood infection) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) which caused these severe complications. Antibiotics have since eradicated the meningitis, however Aaron now faces a long and challenging road to recovery.

Aaron is a very special person and has touched many lives.Even with insurance he will have many uninsured illness-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles, prosthetics and the costly rehab therapy which will help him regain strength and personal independence.

To help offset such expenses, a fundraising campaign in Aaron’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. In 2000, they expanded their mission to include those who have sustained a catastrophic injury or illness. All contributions are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southwest Catastrophic Illness Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for injury-related expenses only. Please consider making an end-of-year tax-deductible donation today by clicking the Donate Now button.

Thank you so very much. Your support, prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated

Aaron’s friends and family.
