Dawn Cox

Dawn Needs Your Help

Dawn Cox was diagnosed with a liver condition called Primary Biliary Cirrhosis about 14 years ago. Although the doctors did what they could to slow the progression of the disease, her symptoms worsened and she has continued to suffer from extreme itching, exhaustion, mood swings and multiple bouts of lung infections.

In 2013, Dawn was hospitalized for over a week due to these complications. It was then that she was referred to Piedmont Transplant in Atlanta to be evaluated for a liver transplant. Two years have gone by and her health has continued to decline. Her diseased liver is now causing a myriad of other health problems. Dawn had to leave her job and has struggled to cope not just because of the loss of her income, but because of her inability to do many of the things a family usually can count on.

Two days ago she had a major answer to prayer and finally something to look forward to. After a multitude of assessments and test, she has been qualified for a living liver donor transplant at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Several family members have offered to be a living donor but non have been a match, until now. Dawn has received word that on January 30st 2018 she will be going into surgery.

A transplant will save Dawn’s life, but it is also very costly. Even with insurance, Dawn is facing very high expenses including relocation for up to five months to be closer to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. Additionally, Dawn’s son Curtis and daughter Torie and son in law Ryan and husband Dale (Active duty Army stationed in Fort Benning, GA) hope to fly to be with Dawn during her recovery. None of this is covered by insurance.

To help with the financial burden of her uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in Dawn’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live. To make a tax-deductible donation, click Donate Now.

If God lays it on your heart to donate, any amount helps and adds up. Also, please lift Dawn and her family up in prayer every single day you think of them. They need the prayers and strength as much as anything else they could receive. Please have your church, small groups, or prayer chains pray as well. Thank you for all your love and support as the Cox’s embark on this journey being led by FAITH. Keep an eye on Dawn’s campaign page because we will be posting updates regularly. Thank you again.

Gratefully,
Angel Williams, Dawn’s sister
