Edward W Cardwell
“What is a price of a life? For me, there is no cost.”
Diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2015, Edward Cardwell reached a critical point in 2023 and joined the waiting list for a double lung transplant.
12 days later on October 31, 2023, Edward received a life-saving transplant.
Edward and his wife, Michele, are facing a significant financial burden following the transplant, particularly because Edward was unable to work for more than 6 months prior to the surgery.
They turned to Help Hope Live to help offset tens of thousands of dollars in uncovered medical costs.
They’ve raised over $5,000 towards their initial $15,000 goal so far.
Edward says he now spreads the word about the power of organ donation, and he looks forward to returning to work when his health allows.
