Lenny Francis Price

SAXMAN LENNY PRICE DESPERATELY NEEDS YOUR HELP

Lenny’s long battle with end-stage kidney disease has come to a critical point. After roughly nine years of dialysis, he needs a transplant to survive. We’re asking family and friends to join us in fundraising for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to help with critical expenses Lenny will face immediately after surgery, including the cost of lodging near the Virginia Mason transplant center in Seattle WA where he is required to stay for 4 to 6 weeks following his discharge.

Lenny has always lived a positive and productive life despite his chronic health condition. He has overcome many obstacles to achieving his dreams – from serving our country and graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy to a 13-year run as saxophonist for Grammy-winner Earl Klugh. Lenny has also contributed his talents as a music educator and performing arts activist to the various communities in which he’s lived. His positive attitude and lifestyle helped him avoid the inevitable for a long time. But now Lenny depends on dialysis and needs our help to get this life-saving procedure.

While Lenny has health insurance, many transplant expenses are surprisingly not covered, such as the monthly anti-rejection medication he needs to take for the life of his new kidney. Lenny has been told to anticipate upwards of $5,000 per month just for medications alone.

Donations to Help Hope Live can help ease the financial burden of a transplant and allow Lenny to focus on a healthy recovery and a long life ahead.
