Donald Holbrook, Sr

LUNG TRANSPLANT NEEDED!

Donald A. Holbrook Sr. was born in Somerville, NJ on July 15, 1947 to dairy farmers. He grew up on the farm throughout high school. After graduation, he enlisted in the US Air Force and served active duty from 1966 through 1970 with one year in Vietnam. After his discharge he had two years of reserve duty.

In 1971 he married the love of his life, Jeanne. They have two wonderful sons who have given them three wonderful grandchildren. Don is an avid fisherman and loves watching car racing. He worked at Harrah’s Atlantic City Casino for 35 years and retired in 2015.

In 2009 Don contracted pneumonia and later developed a blood clot in his leg. After a 9-day hospitalization they determined that he had COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis. There is no known cause and no cure for his disease. Over the past years the disease has progressed. Don was placed on the national lung transplant list on October 23, 2018.

We are asking for donations to help cover to help cover the extraordinary expenses we anticipate both from the surgery and recovery but also the anti-rejection drugs he will be taking for the rest of his life. Medicare helps but not enough. Donations should be made in his name to HelpHopeLive.org. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated, and you have our heartfelt thanks!
