We have a Donor…Next Step, A Transplant

Our sister, Lois Brockey who is 57 years old, has suffered from kidney disease for several years. Her kidneys have been functioning around 20% for the last few years and just recently, she started dialysis. Lois needs a kidney transplant. Last summer, our oldest sister Karen got tested to see if she may be a match for Lois, and we found out that she is! Praise God for answered prayers. Finding a donor is always one of the biggest obstacles, so we are so thankful for our sister and that we have overcome that obstacle. Soon we will be able to schedule a transplant and Lois will finally be able to put a large part of this behind her.

Lois is a mother of 3: Katelyn (28), Adam (21), and Jenna (19). In addition, she has 4 amazing grandkids that think she is the best Grandma in the world. She is also a sister to 6 siblings who love her dearly. Lois has played a vital role in her community as a nurse for over 35 years. She has worked in the NICU, and has worked with children with disabilities and life threatening injuries her entire nursing career. Lois also sings regularly on a worship team with Living Springs Covenant Church. She loves God and shares her gifts with others.

The expenses related to a transplant are extremely high, and very overwhelming. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that must be covered out of pocket. Some of these expenses are premiums, co-pays, deductibles and anti-rejection medications she will need to take for the rest of her life. In addition, Lois has been unable to work full time and she will be unable to work after a transplant for some time. This is where we need your support.

To help with the financial burden of Lois’ expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, which is 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 and administered by Help Hope Live. To make a donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.

On behalf of Lois and our family, thank you for kindness, generosity, support and most importantly, your prayers. Please keep an eye on Lois’ campaign page at Help Hope Live as we will be posting updates regularly.
