John Lawson

You Can Help Make a Difference

My name is John Lawson and I have a disease called non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, or congenital heart failure. I need a life-saving heart transplant and Tampa General has told me I need to have at least $12,000 before I can be placed on the transplant list.

Val and I do not have the funds to support this request and I urgently need you help in attaining the funds to get the transplant. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that aren’t covered, and the hospital wants me to be prepared for those expenses the most significant of which is the very expensive anti-rejection medications that I will have to take for the rest of my life.

To help with the financial burden of uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign has been established in honor of John with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to help patients and families in need for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law and are held by Help Hope Live in the Southeast Transplant Fund in honor of John. Donations are allocated by Help Hope Live based on financial need for medical expenses. Please consider donating today.

Val and I would be grateful for whatever you can do and hope that you will share my situation with others who may be able to help.

Thank you for care, prayers, and support.

John and Val Lawson
