Adrian White’s Gift of Life

It has now been fifteen months post-transplant and “morning by morning new mercies I see.” Each breath I take is a miracle. Each step I take is a miracle. And my gratitude is profound.

Although complexities continue to intensify, I will not abandon faith and hope. Despite the ups and downs, my persistent attitude of fortitude remains – one day at a time. Since the reality of my lung transplant on January 3, 2015, I have required several hospitalizations, most recently to be treated for cytomegalovirus (CMV) – a donor-related viral infection. It resulted in a two-week stay, including a week of isolation, in ICU. Medical expenses continue to soar, especially the cost of medication required to control the virus in general and immunosuppressant medications in particular.

A fundraising campaign in my 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 Southeast Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please, consider making a contribution.

HelpHOPELive has been a radiant lighthouse helping me navigate a turbulent sea of financial complexities. I am extremely thankful for all who have given so generously toward my well-being. Your ongoing prayers and financial support are reassuring.

With Sincere Gratitude,

Adrian White
