Kevin Quigley

Help Kevin Breathe!

Kevin’s life took a dramatic change 7 years ago, when his difficulties with breathing were diagnosed as COPD and emphysema. As his condition worsened, Kevin had no choice but to give up his life long career as a carpenter. Through this experience, Kevin has learned to appreciate even the smallest pleasures. His fondest moments are those enjoyed with family. He especially cherishes the time spent with his two children and six grandchildren who fill him with such happiness – they are truly the light of his life!

Now diagnosed with end stage lung disease, Kevin is hopeful that a bilateral lung transplant will enable him to have both the time and the energy to enjoy his family to the fullest. He dreams of being able to dance with his wife, Jane, and wants to enjoy a long and happy future with her. He hopes for many more happy memories with his children and grandchildren, and all his beloved family and friends.

We reach out and ask for your support to help hope live for Kevin. Even with insurance, transplants are extremely expensive. Kevin and Jane will be faced with significant out-of-pocket expenses that include deductibles, co-pays, and medication costs that may be in excess of $1,000 monthly. They are also responsible for travel expenses and the costs for temporary relocation to Boston for an undetermined time period after his transplant. Jane will be able to take a leave of absence from work as Kevin’s primary caretaker, but this will leave them temporarily without income.

To help with the financial burden of Kevin’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with Help Hope Live, 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 to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Northeast Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.
