Support Gregory he needs a heart transplant
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jackie and I'm Greg's wife. Greg who is currently awaiting heart transplant. These types of procedures often occur with very little notice. While some cost are incurred by all transplant patients, financial burdens are compound for patients from communities outside the lower mainland. These individuals and families must leave the safety and security of their home and community to relocate to Vancouver with their caregiver for minimum of 4 months. Travel and accommodation cost for frequent outpatient appointments ( gas, airline cost when needed to stay multiple days near st. Paul's Hospital, hotel medical rates are on average $290+/ night or higher. Parking cost in downtown Vancouver ($20 +/ day) meal cost away from home cost of maintaining primary residence in home community ( mortgage,utilities, etc.) Short term furnished accommodation in Vancouver cost an average of 2800/ month for at leastv3 months after each surgery. Thank you for your support.
