William Perry

William Scott Perry, former veteran of The United States Coast Guard, is very ill and desperately needs a heart transplant. Some may know William as a former real estate agent, or through one of his five lovely children. William also spent over 22 years dedicated to serving in the United States Coast Guard. William’s life was thrown into turmoil when he suffered a stroke and was then diagnosed with congestive heart failure. William is suffering and his quality of life has been difficult, as he now lives with the aid of a ventricular assist device pump implant, or V.A.D. His heart is too weak to function on its own; the V.A.D. is William’s only means of survival until a suitable heart donor is available, and he receives his lifesaving heart transplant.

Transplants are lifesaving, but the costs are more than William and I can handle alone. Even with health insurance, unreimbursed medical expenses continue to add up for William. Co-pays, deductibles, medical equipment, doctor visits, travel fees and medications are costing William thousands of dollars each month. He will also be required to take anti-rejection medications for the rest of his life.

To help with the financial burden of William’s expenses for him and his family, a fund-raising campaign in his 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 Southwest Heart Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your prayers, support and generosity in making William’s heart transplant a success.

Gratefully,

The Perry Family
