JB Brown

JB Needs a Lung Transplant and Needs Your Help

JB has battled Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic illness that affects the respiratory and other systems, all his life. In 2014, he developed sensitivities to some of his medications and his health took a turn for the worse. Medications and treatments are becoming less effective and his lung function continue to fall, with a double lung transplant being his best hope for survival.

“Growing up with a CF was a challenge, but I didn’t realize I was different until I was older. Thanks to supportive family and friends, I never really felt different. I was never going to be the biggest or the fastest on the playground, but I always gave it my all and did my best, something I’ve tried to do my whole life. It’s ok to have limitations and acknowledge them, but not to let them define who you are. I’ve tried to live my life in a positive way, giving what I can to the people around me, who have given me so much.”

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

JB has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors.
