Thomas Bull

“HEART OF THE BULL”

Tom Bull, a beloved member of the Maine community was born with a congenital heart defect, which was relatively asymptomatic until approximately 2 years ago. Since then, Tom’s health has declined rapidly. In July 2018, Tom was placed on the national heart transplant list as a “Status 1A”, and at that time began adjusting to life inside the hospital while he waits for a lifesaving and necessary organ.

Tom is a kind, sweet soul. He has a great sense of humor and is always willing to help others. Tom has been dedicated to brewing beer and the craft beer industry for 25 years. In July 2018, Tom had to stop working because of his failing heart.

A new heart for Tom means a bright future, and with a positive attitude, support of many dear friends and a supremely talented medical team, he is determined to arrive there! As Tom and his loving wife Molly prepare for the coming months and years, they are grateful to belong to a supportive and loving community. This community is of vital importance, as they know that it will cost more than a million dollars to cover medical and associated costs of a heart transplant. While Tom has health insurance, there are extensive costs of a heart transplant that are not covered by insurance. Some of these include deductibles co-pays, medications, Molly’s travel to and from Maine to Boston.

Family and friends of Tom Bull are raising money through the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund his uninsured medical and other expenses associated with transplantation.

Donations to Help Hope Live, whether direct or through auctions and events, can help ease the tremendous financial burden of a transplant and allow Tom to stay positive during his wait for a heart transplant and focus on a healthy recovery and a long life ahead.

Tom 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 Tom’s medical and related expenses.
