Paula Roberge

My wife Paula needs a double lung transplant.

Paula has been living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis for quite a while. She is now at the point of needing a lung transplant in order to save her life. Together we have four children and 11 grandchildren, and she is the heart of our family! We’re all praying for this wonderful gift of life for her. Paula is a very positive person. She’s now choosing hope over despair. No surprise there!

Paula worked for 35 years in an OBGYN practice, having retired a few years ago. She loves her church. She’s a quilter. She loves making beautiful gifts for us and for her friends and donates quilts to charities. She has friends that adore her, some even having become organ donors based on her experience.

We have been told that there will be many expenses not covered by our insurance that will be monumental. These include my lodging while she is hospitalized, much travel to the hospital for medical appointments post-surgery, medications, medical equipment needed at home and many other incidental expenses.

Donations to Help Hope Live can help ease the financial burden of a lung transplant and help us to focus on her recovery and healthy life with all of us, her family. She has much yet to do. I thank you for your consideration.

Family and friends of Paula Roberge are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

Paula has chosen to fundraise for 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 contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
