Dennis Huis

Family and friends of Dennis Huis are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

DENNIS NEEDS PRAYERS AND SUPPORT
Dennis has led an adventurous life and is currently facing his biggest one yet. Having dealt with atrial fibrillation issues for the past 10 years, he has now been diagnosed with a rare form of Amyloidosis causing congestive heart failure. Unfortunately the only cure is a heart transplant, since there’s no artificial means to keep him alive with his condition.

Dennis had worked as a process engineer and manager in the paper industry for 18 years. Then, for the last 20 years, as a ski instructor at Telluride Ski Resort in the winter, and in the summer a backcountry guide and small business owner in Durango, CO. He’s anxious to get back to being able to ski, teach and show the people the beauty of the backcountry.

The expenses associated with the transplant include living in Denver for 4+ months waiting for and recovering from surgery. There are also the copays, pricey drugs and continued monitoring by the transplant staff required for the rest of his life. This is a daunting undertaking for the Huis’s to handle on their own.

Dennis has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility to the full extent allowed by law for donors.
