Help Matt Get a New Liver

Up until a few years ago Matt Storch led a very active life with his wife Lisa and their two sons, Michael and Eric. But then he began to develop health issues that were traced to reduced liver function. Finally, he got the diagnosis no one wants to hear – cancer. Matt has had the cancer treated several times, and each time it appeared it was gone. But then it would return. So far, Matt has been fortunate in that the cancer has remained confined to his liver. But his doctors have told him that it is now only a matter of time until it metastasizes and spreads. His best chance for survival is a liver transplant. Matt’s condition is worsening and Lisa is now his full-time primary caregiver.

Transplants are lifesaving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Matt is facing very high expenses including relocation for at least three months to Seattle to be near the University of Washington Transplant Center, post-transplant medications of up to $1,200 a month, co-pays, lab fees, travel expenses, and more.
