Vicky Needs Your Help

Vicky Corbett, a resident of Anderson, SC, has been awaiting a kidney transplant for nearly 10 years and needs our help. She was diagnosed with Sjogren’s, an autoimmune disease, in 2004 after the birth of her first child, and is now suffering End Stage Renal Disease from complications of Sjogren’s and Vasculitis. Finally, after nearly 2 years of being inactive on the National Transplant list, she has been put back to active status by her hospital transplant team.

Vicky is the mother of two teenage boys, Nolan and Braydon, and has managed to enthusiastically care for them even while enduring daily fatigue and exhaustion. She had also worked full-time during her entire ordeal up to the past several years. She worked in our local hospital and pharmacy as a Certified Lactation Educator, helping women establish a successful and loving nursing relationship with their babies. On top of all this, Vicky has volunteered at community events such as cancer awareness days, Special Olympics, and the hospital’s Teddy Bear Clinic. Vicky is such a positive influence on the community and rarely even complains about her symptoms.

Vicky and her family are in need of financial assistance to cover the extremely high costs of a transplant not covered by medical insurance. Expenses such as a MUSC hospital approved hotel for an additional 1-2 weeks after being discharged, gas, food, and possibly living donor expenses.

A fundraising campaign has been established with Help Hope Live to help offset their out-of-pocket expenses. Help Hope Live is a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for over 35 years. All contributions are administered by Help Hope Live exclusively for uninsured transplant-related expenses. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

To support this cause: Vicky is such a caring mother and friend and has put so much time and energy into helping others. Please help support Vicky and her family by making a donation and saying a prayer for her.

Thank you in advance for your kindness! Please feel free to contact Crystal Hann at (864) 934-8009
