Cris Thrift

As many of you may know, our father, Cris has faced significant health challenges over the years, culminating in the urgent need for a double lung transplant.

He is a fighter. He has endured countless medical tests, treatments, and doctor visits with unwavering courage and a positive spirit. Despite the obstacles, he has passed all of his health tests and is 100% clear of any issues, except for one critical need: a double lung transplant.

This transplant is not just a medical necessity; it is a lifeline. It represents a chance for Cris to breathe easily again, to enjoy the simple joys of life, and to continue being the loving father, grandfather, and friend that he is. However, the journey towards this life-saving surgery is fraught with financial challenges. While we are incredibly grateful for the medical care he has received, many of the associated expenses are not covered by insurance.

To help manage these uninsured medical expenses, we are partnering with the nonprofit Help Hope Live. This wonderful organization is dedicated to assisting individuals like Cris who need support in funding their medical journeys. All donations made in Cris’s name will go directly towards covering the costs of his transplant, postoperative care, and necessary medications.

We humbly ask for your support in this critical time. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a tremendous difference in Cris’s life. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this story with your network can also have a profound impact.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, prayers, and well-wishes. Together, we can give Cris the breath of life he so desperately needs.
