Janice Meagley

Janice Meagley is only 51-years old, and she is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. She has been suffering from a chronic medical condition called “IGA Nephropathy”; a disease that damages the kidneys from abnormal protein deposits in the glomeruli. Janice has started a strict regimen of dialysis, and in order to survive, she must undergo a kidney transplant. Janice is working with Barnes Jewish Hospital, and is listed through them for her transplant surgery.

On a personal level, Janice has a large family and loves to spend time with her grandchildren. Despite her illness, she works hard at her job in a Nursing Home and goes to work each and every day. She loves to garden, spend time with her pets, and she remains optimistic despite her kidneys not functioning properly. Janice has spent her whole life taking care of others – now it is time to help Janice!

Transplants are lifesaving, but the costs are more than Janice can handle alone. She is facing many uninsured transplant-related expenses such as co-pays and deductibles, doctor visits, travel and temporary relocation expenses and costly anti-rejection medications that Janice will need for the rest of her life. Janice will be required to temporary relocate after her transplant, and live closer to Barnes Jewish Hospital. These costs are adding up to thousands of dollars for Janice, and she needs your help.

To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Janice’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, 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, are held by HelpHOPELive in the North-Central Kidney Transplant Fund and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your prayers, generosity and kindness in making Janice’s kidney transplant a success. Any donation, large or small, will make a big difference for Janice.

Gratefully,

Michelle Johnson, Janice’s loving daughter
