Sherry Lassiter Brickhouse

Some of you may know me as Ms. Lassiter; to others I am your Aunt Sherry, Granny, or Mrs. Sherry. I was the formal owner of Lassiter’s Daycare in Sunbury, North Carolina. Last year I found out I had end-stage primary biliary cirrhosis, a disease of the liver. There is no known cure. My doctors at Duke University Medical Center have told me a liver transplant is my only hope for survival.

Transplants are life-saving but financially draining. Currently I am unable to work due to my deteriorating health so I have no income. Though I receive some assistance from Medicaid it does not cover such out-of-pocket expenses as travel to and from the center for me and my caregiver, relocation expenses, and the astronomical cost of the anti-rejection medication I will need to take for the rest of my life.

To help with the financial burden of these uninsured medical expenses, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the South-Atlantic Liver Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please, consider a contribution.

I thank you in advance for your care, support, and contributions; they are critical to the overall success of my struggle. Please know that your contribution counts.

May God bless you richly,

Sherry Lassiter Brickhouse
