Kirsten Martin’s Story

Kirsten Martin is raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with her kidney transplant. Kirsten lives in Ankeny, IA. She is being treated at Mercy Hospital Medical Center in Des Moines.

Kirsten has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive provides both tax-deductibility and fiscal accountability to her contributors. Contributors can be sure that funds contributed will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
