Help Leticia Get New Lungs

Leticia Colonio is the mother of two adult sons and has been married to a gentleman for 31 years. Leticia is in need of double lung transplant and needs the help of the community to make it happen. Even though the transplant is life- saving it is also true that is very expensive.

Leticia has a rare diseases call Hermansky – Pudlak syndrome, most commonly known HPS. This causes bleeding, bruising and can even affect different organs. This rare disease has 9 types. Leticia has type 1 that produces pulmonary fibrosis. For people such as Leticia the only way to extend their health is with an organ transplant.

However, funding this life-saving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by insurance; co-pays, anti- rejection medications, transportation, and even some equipment. These expenses are more that the Colonio family can afford.

To help with the financial burden of Leticia’s uninsured expenses a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, 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 are held by HelpHOPELive in the New York Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Leticia’s struggle. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of the Colonio family we want to say thank you and God bless your all.

Gratefully,

Leticia Colonio
