Help Chris Scanlon's Heart Transplant Journey
Donation protected
Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read this. We are raising funds on behalf of the Scanlon family. As some of you know, the wonderful Chris Scanlon has had a long journey with his health over the years. As of April 4th, 2025, Chris has been at the Tufts Medical Center in Boston as a status two on the heart transplant list. During this waiting period, he will continue to stay inpatient at Tufts until he is able to get a heart transplant. For the past month, his loving and caring wife, Christine, has been driving back and forth from Vermont and Boston to spend time with him. She has graciously continued to juggle working and being the primary caretaker for her sister Danielle.
Currently, the family is facing significant financial strain due to:
- Temporary housing in Boston (hotels, or other homes offered when Christine is able to visit).
- Travel costs (gas, tolls, parking, etc).
- Meals and daily living expenses away from home.
- Medical-related costs that are not covered by insurance.
The family anticipates continuing to face other financial strains post-transplant due to:
- Chris's children - Denise, Jonathan and Carly living in different parts of the US and eventually traveling back to Vermont to help with his care post-transplant.
- Having to travel back and forth to Boston to closely monitor his progress.
Any and all contributions will help to reduce the financial burden so the family is able to focus their energy and effort on supporting Chris during his lengthy recovery post-transplant. Every contribution, big or small, means the absolute world to the entire family and they are incredibly grateful for the support. If you are unable to support monetarily at this time, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to help.
Chris and Christine are the kind of people to give their shirts off their backs to anyone in need and have given back to the community in many ways. We are hoping to return the favor in their time of need.
With gratitude and love,
Hanna and Sierra
**Please note: Christine (Chris's wife) is the beneficiary to all funds that will be raised. We are managing this GoFundMe account on their behalf as they continue to focus their energy on supporting Chris at this time.
