Emma Neumann

As many of you know my daughter Emma, 24, has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She has battled the disease courageously and for many years was able to lead a fairly normal life. However, last year her lung function decreased tremendously due to years of lung infections and scar tissue. Now, she relies on oxygen 24/7 and misses being active and a part of everyday life.

At this point, Emma’s doctors at Mass General have told us that her only chance of survival and long term health is a double lung transplant. Emma needs the help of her family and friends to make this happen.

Transplants are life-saving, but also very expensive. Even with insurance, there will be many out-of-pocket expenses, including travel to and from Mass General, copays for hospital stays, and the costly anti-rejection medication copays Emma will have to take for the rest of her life.

To help offset such expenses, a fundraising campaign in Emma’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Emma’s fight. Please know that you contribution counts. On behalf of Emma and her family, we thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Gratefully,

Lisa Zurawicki, Emma’s mom
