Marylou McDaniel

Marylou McDaniel needs a kidney transplant, and she desperately needs your help to make it happen. Marylou has been battling type-1 insulin dependent diabetes for almost 15 years. As a result, her kidneys have started to fail, and a kidney transplant is her only hope for survival. Transplants are lifesaving, but the costs are more than Marylou and her loving family can handle alone.

Over three days per week, Marylou undergoes a strict regimen of dialysis, which costs her over $1000 per month. She has recently been approved for her transplant at the University of Virginia, but her surgery is on hold until she raises over $15,000. Even with health insurance, co-pays, deductibles, travel fees, relocation expenses, and anti-rejection medications that Marylou will need for the rest of her life, continue to add up and are expected to costs thousands of dollars.

To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Marylou’s 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 South-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Marylou has a warm heart and strong will to live and spend time with her grandchildren. She has a strong faith in God and is an active member of her local church. Marylou has taken care of and helped others her whole life; now it is time to help Marylou!

Thank you in advance for your prayers, support and generosity.

Gratefully,

Tammy Fields, Marylou’s daughter
