Anthony's Transplant Recovery Journey

On Sunday, our lives changed in an instant. Anthony Griffin received the call—his long-awaited kidney and pancreas transplant was finally happening. We dropped everything and raced to Arizona to give him this life-changing opportunity, with no time to prepare.

We’re beyond grateful that Anthony is getting this chance to completely change his life. As amazing as it is, the timing was extremely quick (shout out to the transplant team for giving us only 8 hours’ notice—we love spontaneity!).

He’ll be in Arizona for two months recovering, and out of work for at least three months post-surgery. Meanwhile, I’ll be doing the back-and-forth shuffle between states along with other family and friends.

Between the surgery itself, the two month apartment stay, medical supplies, medicine, food and transportation, the costs are... well, let’s just say Anthony’s new organs didn’t come with a rebate. Every donation will help us cover the mountain of expenses during the next 3 months so Anthony can focus on healing.

Thank you to our family and friends for your love and support. Also, thank you to everyone who has helped back at home while we are away, we truly couldn’t do this without you.

With gratitude (and hopefully some sleep soon),

Erica & Griff
