Micah McNeal

Micah McNeal has kidney failure and she desperately needs your help. As a result of a progressive form of Type-II Diabetes, Micah has been diagnosed with end-stage-renal disease. In order to survive, she relies on dialysis. She spends four hours, three days per week undergoing treatment as well as attending several medical appointments and extensive testing in order to be placed on the active transplant list. Without a lifesaving kidney transplant, Micah will quickly run out of time.

Micah is the proud and loving mother of two wonderful and supportive children, and blessed with one adorable granddaughter. As a single mother, Micah has faced many obstacles and challenges in her life. Despite her illness, she has persevered heroically and with grace. She never complains and works hard to the point of sacrificing her health to make ends meet for her children. She never imagined a kidney transplant would be her greatest challenge and now her only hope for survival.

Despite her illness, Micah continues to remain strong. She spends as much time as she can caring her loving and supportive family, who are committed to seeing Micah through her transplant. While she is physically, mentally and spiritually drained, Micah remains hopeful that her transplant will give her a new lease on life. But Micah needs your help.

Transplants are financially draining and Micah is presently out of work. Even with health insurance, co-pays and deductibles, health insurance premiums, lab costs, travel and lodging fees to the transplant center continue to add up. After surgery, she will be required to temporarily relocate and will have caregiver fees. In addition, she will have to purchase costly post-transplant, anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life.

Micah has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors.
