Carol Schrum

June 1, 2016 – good news! A wonderful person has stepped up to donate half of their liver to Carol The person who will remain unnamed at this time has cleared all the hurdles of being accepted as a donor, a great accomplishment already! Now we await the surgeons’ decision on how soon to move ahead with the transplant! It will be soon, that’s all I can say for now. Help Carol get a new liver! A donor has stepped forward and everything is in place for the transplant!

Carol Schrum is in immediate need of a liver transplant to save her life. She is a married with two beautiful stepdaughters and two wonderful grandchildren. She is a remarkable woman who has been battling liver disease since the early 80s and has come to the point where a transplant is her only option left. Though insurance covers some of the more major costs of the procedure, there are other expenses that are not covered which can be considerable.

Carol was raised in northwestern Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio and graduated from Northwestern High School in Pennsylvania. She was employed at Books Galore in Erie, Pennsylvania until recently when due to her illness she was no longer able to continue. The loving support of her husband Tim, her large family and many friends is helping her along this difficult journey.

Although Carol has been approved for transplant by UPMC in Pittsburgh, she is facing the huge challenge of out-of-pocket expenses such as temporary relocation costs to Pittsburgh, post -transplant medications and rehabilitation, co-pays and the like.
