Charlie O’Connor

Charlie is from Fair Lawn, NJ and works as a service advisor at Wide World Ferrari Maserati.
Diagnosed at age six with cystic fibrosis, his health declined in his twenties. After a long wait, he was able to receive a double lung transplant on March 16, 2011 at New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Lately, Charlie has experienced some health issues related to this disease. Although Charlie carries an insurance policy, there are aspects of care and recovery (including co-pays, mediation, transport, oxygen and much more) that are not all covered.

From Charlie: I can never say THANK YOU enough or show you how much I appreciate EVERYTHING everyone has done for me!

I have chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive provides both tax-deductibility and fiscal accountability to his contributors. Contributors can be sure that funds contributed will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
