Laurie's life took a dramatic turn when she underwent a successful double lung transplant in mid-August. For over a year, she struggled to breathe, facing each day with an unwavering spirit. Her strong faith in God and the incredible dedication of her medical team have given her a second chance at life. However, as Laurie takes each grateful breath with her new lungs, the financial burden is beginning to weigh heavily on her and her family. Despite insurance coverage, Laurie's journey to recovery necessitates maintaining an apartment near the hospital for the critical care that started pre-surgery and continues months into post-surgery. To make ends meet, she diligently worked from home up to her hospitalization for the transplant, providing tele-therapy full time. Since her transplant hospitalization, she has reached a point where her time off has run out, leaving her with the daunting responsibility of covering her health insurance premium for continual treatment.

She is determined to pay this second chance forward by helping those in need. But right now, she needs our support.
