Dana Herring

Dear Friends, Family and Community,

My loving wife, Dana Herring, received a life-saving lung transplant in 2012. Her lungs are working very well but sadly, the anti-rejection medications she must take daily have destroyed her kidneys. She is now on dialysis and is waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. We have a very special person who is a compatible donor is in the final stages of testing who would like to give Dana the ultimate Gift of Life.

Dana is a wonderful mother to our daughter Tequila, doting grandmother of our two granddaughters, active member of our church and good friend to many. She looks forward to being dialysis free and many more years of giving back and helping others.

As you can imagine, a transplant is very expensive. Even with insurance there are many expenses that must be paid out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, travel to and from Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville; relocation expenses at the time of transplant and Dana will be on a lifetime of additional anti-rejection medications. This is where your help is desperately needed.

A fundraising campaign in Dana’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, 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, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southeast Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

On behalf of Dana, myself and our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.
