Colleen Scott

Colleen Needs Our Help!

Colleen Scott, is just 61-years-old and suffers from non-alcoholic end-stage liver disease. As a child she had seizures but grew out of them only to be left with horrible migraines. Just to make it through the day she would take Excedrin on a fairly regular basis. Doctors seem to agree this contributed to her liver failing. Colleen is very ill and needs a liver transplant to extend her life. Transplantation is life-saving but overwhelming.

Colleen is almost done her evaluation with Massachusetts General Hospital to be placed on their wait list for a new liver but they require her test scores to be even higher than they already are. With that in mind, our hope is to have her dual listed. The last week of December, we will travel to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for a week of further evaluation to see if she meets their criteria to be actively listed with them as well. Together, Colleen and her family are committed to seeing her through this transplant.

Transplants are life-saving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Colleen is facing very high expenses including travel to and from the hospital, relocation to be closer to the center, and the post-transplant anti-rejection medications are astronomical. She will need to take them for the rest of her life. This is a challenge she cannot face alone. Colleen needs our help.

To help with the financial burden of Colleen’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, 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 to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the New York Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.
