Help Becky get new lungs and breathe easier again!

Becky was 29 years old when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, occurring shortly after she moved to Kohler, WI with her husband, Kevin, and their 18-month-old son, Darby. Over the next years, Becky battled the cancer twice, including having a stem cell transplant, before successfully defeating it. Unfortunately, the radiation treatments that helped save her life also scarred her lungs and triggered deadly pulmonary fibrosis. She now has end-stage lung disease and is working with the University of Wisconsin’s Transplant Center in Madison to become a candidate for a double lung transplant. She is on track to be placed on their transplant list in mid-October 2024. Tragically, her husband, Kevin, has also been diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer, which is incurable. Their sweet son, Darby, is now fourteen years old and faces the heartbreaking prospect of losing both his parents within two years, unless Becky has a successful double lung transplant.

Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs related to pre-op tests and treatments, the lung transplant itself, temporary post-op housing in Madison, expensive, lifelong anti-rejection and anti-infection drugs and regular, lifelong visits to the UW Transplant Center for transplant care far exceeds Becky’s financial capability.

Becky’s family is partnering with Help Hope Live to raise funds in Becky’s honor that can be used to help her meet her transplant-related medical expenses. Donations are tax deductible and only used to cover medical and related expenses.
