Ben Needs Your Help

Ben Lucero is a 54 year old Pueblo resident who needs your support. After struggling with Congestive Heart Failure since 2007 Ben is now waiting for a new heart and under special care at the University of Colorado Hospital.

Ben grew up in Pueblo, Colorado and graduated from Centennial High School. In 1984 Ben welcomed his first child, Monica. Ben lived in Vail for 13 years as a painter and returned to Pueblo in 2003. In 2005 Ben met his wife Valerie, and soon welcomed Alesandra and Benjamin in 2007 and 2009. Ben is a great father who is always there for his family, and ready to be more active with his young children and only grandaughter Ava. Throughout Ben’s condition he has always remained upbeat and maintained a positive attitude. Together, Ben and his family are committed to seeing him through this transplant.

Transplants are lifesaving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Ben is facing very high expenses, post-transplant medication, co-pays, lab fees, and more.

To help with the financial burden of Ben’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his 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 Midwest/West Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

For credit card contributions, please select the Give button or call 800.642.8399.

Thank you for your kind thoughts, prayers, support and generosity. Keep an eye on this campaign page because we will be planning some fundraising events soon and posting updates regularly.

Gratefully,
Valerie Lucero, Ben’s Wife
