Mindy Shelby

Hello, my name is Melinda (Mindy) Shelby and I desperately need your help!

I have been diagnosed with end stage COPD caused by Acute Emphysema. The doctors at Mayo Clinic have determined that my only option is a double lung transplant.

As you can imagine, the costs involved are enormous. I will have to relocate to be close to the hospital, there will be lost wages and the bills will keep coming.

This is why I am reaching out to family and friends to join me in fundraising for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to help me with critical out of pocket medical expenses before and after the transplant.

I am a wife, mother and grandmother (Mimi) of five beautiful children. In the past, I was a Sunday school teacher for many years. Then I took time off for me to learn. Now it’s time for me to get back to what I love- teaching about my Lord and Savior.

I love life and my Lord and Savior and want to stick around to help teach my grandchildren and others; to be a witness for Jesus.

Mindy has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility to the full extent allowed by law for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
