Preparing to Live – Your Help is Needed to complete the journey.

I was diagnosed with severe COPD and Emphysema in 2018. I was able to continue working for awhile. With every year that passed my conditioned worsened to the point that I was forced to retire before I desired. My condition has diminished to the point that my Fev 1 is less than 400cc and Fev1/FVC is 35% which primarily means that it is difficult for me to breath on any given day. I’m at the point were the only option is a lung transplant.

A lung transplant is expensive. Actually any type of transplant is expensive. Insurance does not cover all of the key essential items related to the procedure. Based on where I live I need to relocate near the hospital for about 2 months. The cost of a temporary rental, medication and medical cost is what I need help with.

With your help I can add life to my years. I have chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
