Sarah Needs Your Help

Help Sarah Get Her New Lungs! Sarah Steinhauser is a 24-year old who is in need of a life-saving lung transplant. Sarah has been placed on the transplant list at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and needs our help to raise money for the uninsured medical expenses associated with her surgery, travel/housing, and ongoing care. She is an amazing person who will benefit significantly from this life-saving surgery.

Sarah was born with Bronchiectasis. Bronchiectasis is a progressive disease in which there is permanent damage in the airways of the lung. Sarah’s current condition has declined over the past year making her 100% reliant on oxygen. Thankfully, Sarah’s drive, passion for life, and vivacious personality has kept her spirits high.

In May 2016, Sarah graduated from Montclair State University with a bachelor’s in Child Advocacy and Policy. She has not yet been employed full-time due to her current, significant medical limitation, but anxiously looks forward to working with children in the future.

To help Sarah offset the financial burden of her current, and life-long, ongoing medical expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live. Sarah will face various medical expenses not covered by insurance including co-pays and anti-rejection medications as well as travel and living expenses during her stays in Philadelphia (she is a resident of northern New Jersey).

We have 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. To make a donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.

PLEASE NOTE: Please allow 2-3 days for donations to appear on the fundraising indicator to allow for payment processing/confirmation.

For more information, please contact Help Hope Live at 800.642.8399.

On behalf of Sarah and her family, we thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Gratefully,
Maranda Bretts, Sarah’s best friend
