Catherine Keffalas

I was diagnosed in 2016, after my first lung collapse with Antitrypsin Deficiency.

I have had 3 collapses and a few procedures to stop them. I have slowly lost lung function. I go to Cleveland clinic to be monitored for double lung transplant. Due to my age and risks involved we have agreed to take this until they feel I can’t wait any longer to be listed. I am trying to raise money to pay for the 2 months I will have to live in Cleveland at the post care transplant house after my surgery. I also have medical bills and related expenses that insurance will not cover.

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

Catherine 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.
