David Minerley

Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you may already know, my brother David has been living with heart failure for almost 20 years. It has come to the point where his heart can no longer keep up with the demands of his body. At only 46 years old, David is now in advanced heart failure and has been told that his only chance at survival is to have a heart transplant. He was recently admitted to Tampa General Hospital and is currently receiving IV medication 24/7 to try and help his heart pump better to bridge the time from now until a transplant can be done.

David is undergoing transplant evaluations now, but must initially raise $4,000 before he can be actively listed on the active transplant waiting list. This money will go towards his expensive anti-rejection medications that he will need to take for the rest of his life. Even with insurance, David will have this and other uninsured transplant-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles and continuing doctor visits and lab tests. He is counting on his family and friends to find it in their hearts to donate as much as they can afford. The sooner he is placed on the list, the sooner a transplant can be done.

To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in David’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 Heart Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider making a contribution today by clicking the DONATE NOW button.

Thank you for your support!
