Angela Hodges

Hi Everyone, Angela is going on her third year post transplant. She has encountered a few medical setbacks, one is her kidneys trying to fail her due to the anti-rejection meds. We have another third year travel coming up this spring, 2019, to Georgetown, DC for procedures to determine all is well with her new intestines. Each year we usually run this to help raise funds for the upcoming trip, which helps with gas, food and lodging each way. A little behind this year, but any amount will help.

Angela is a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and good friend to many. For the past 13 years she has been in and out of the hospital numerous times, has had emergency surgeries, been diagnosed with Sepsis, MRSA, received all her nutrition thru a feeding tube, has liver damage, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Due to her compromised immune system she must refrain from germs, illnesses and certain medications. Angela still struggles with heart disease and side effects from her lifelong medicines since her intestinal transplant in August, 2016.

As you can imagine, the expenses of a transplant are astronomical and overwhelming. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that must be covered out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, lab fees, travel back and forth to the transplant center and she will be required to stay in Washington DC after the transplant for at least 3 months. In addition, Angela will be on a life-time of anti-rejection medications. This is where your help is desperately needed.

A fundraising campaign in Angela’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 Southeast Small Bowel Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

On behalf of Angela, myself and our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.
