New Lungs New Life

Donation protected


I have always told myself that I would never do a Go Fund Me. Not that I have not contributed to many of them, because I have. It’s just so hard for me to ask for help. Ever since I was a single dad I’ve done everything on my own. Actually my coordinator had suggested I do this.

So about 2 years ago I caught Pneumonia and Covid. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks. When I came home I was on oxygen and have been ever since. I have gotten better but if anyone knows about lung health, it is a slow process. I feel like it is 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

Well after a lot of prayers, thoughts and consideration, I have decided to have a lung transplant. I will have the procedure at UCSF. After the procedure I will need to live in the city for up to 3 months. I have to be within a 30 minute radius of the hospital with no bridge crossing. This is for medical purposes just in case there are any complications, not to mention all the after care I will endure. I will need to find a hotel or AirBnB before I have the procedure.

So here I am coming at you as humbled as I know how, asking for your support. Hotels and AirBnBs in the city are very expensive not to mention other medical expenses that my insurance does not cover. At the end of the day I just want a better quality of life. I am tired of being tied down to an oxygen tank. I have always been able to move at the best of my own drum and that is what I want to get back to.

I know I am catching a lot of people off guard with all of this and I do apologize for that. It is hard to be vulnerable on social media.
