Jill Robinson

Your generous help is needed – make my kidney transplant happen.

Hello, I’m Jill and I have end-stage renal disease due to type 1 diabetes. I have been waiting for a kidney through J.C. Walter, Jr Transplant Center in Houston,
TX since 2014. I do hemodialysis treatments 4 times a week as I have no kidney function and must continue this routine until I receive a transplant. There are many expenses involved with my after-transplant care and I need the funds available to move forward with a transplant.
I have called Cypress, Texas my home for 27 years now and lived in the Midwest and Western United States prior to finding my home here. I enjoy my career as a medical language specialist and work from my home office. I love spending time caring for my dogs and my home. I enjoy learning how to do new crafts and making my famous candied apples for friends and neighbors at the holidays. A perfect trip for me would be driving through Texas discovering historical sites along the roadside, seeing fields of horses near ragged barns, and stopping to visit a local antique shop to visit with the shop owner to learn about the treasures inside. God has led me to Harvest Bible Church where my faith grows, and where leaders teach principles of the Bible. I enjoy the fellowship in this community of believers. God has humbled me through discipline and love during this experience. It has not always been easy to maintain a cheerful outlook, but I have learned everything is better when I do, and I work at it every day.

Your donations are needed for after-transplant care and expenses. A caregiver must be with me 24/7 for 6 weeks after transplant for home care and to take me on a 60-mile round trip each day to Houston Methodist Downtown Hospital for medications and lab work. The necessary anti-rejection drugs are expensive and required to stay healthy. I have normal living expenses and will not be able to work for at least 6 weeks after the surgery.

I must have a dedicated caregiver in place for me to remain on the active transplant list so I can have surgery once matched to a donated kidney. I am considered “inactive” on the list at this time as these caregiver funds are not yet available, and I need finances so my caregiver can take the necessary time off from their job to care for me.

Your tax-deductible donations through Help Hope Live will help ease these financial burdens and will allow me to stay on the transplant list. You can be part of the miraculous process of the gift of life and my healthy recovery through your donations and prayers.

Family and friends of Jill Robinson are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

Jill has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors.
