Aurora Gray

Two years ago Aurora was diagnosed with Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Since then her life has significantly changed and so has that of our family. Living with this illness has not been easy but Aurora has managed it with her sarcastic sense of humor, a positive outlook on life and above all strength and resilience.

Two short months ago Aurora was back in the hospital due to sever dehydration and declining health. Then we heard the news we never thought we would. Aurora was going to be listed as high priority for a bilateral lung transplant. Let the mixed emotions begin….

We never expected things to happen this quickly, but yesterday on April 11th we got the news that a good match had been donated. I have never been so hopeful, grateful, worried and anxious about everything to come. I am so grateful to everyone who has loved and supported us along this journey. This is the beginning of a new path for Aurora and with all of you behind us I know she will get through this like a rock star!

Family and friends of Aurora Vaughan are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

Aurora has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
