Help Dawn Briefman Get a Second Chance at Life

Last year, my wife Dawn was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver caused by a rare genetic disease. Now, we face a heartbreaking reality: without a liver transplant, she won’t survive. The cost of this life-saving procedure, along with the associated medical care, is overwhelming, and we need your help to reach our goal of $200,000.

Dawn is the heart of our family—a devoted mother to our two wonderful daughters, a lover of books, history, and museums, and someone who finds joy in the beauty of life. Her favorite memories are from our trips to Kauai, Hawaii, where she adored the serene waterfalls and breathtaking beaches.

Like many mothers, Dawn is the glue that holds our family together. She has always been there for us, and now we need to be there for her. If you’ve ever leaned on your own mother for love, support, or guidance, you know how vital that presence is. Losing Dawn would leave an irreplaceable void not only in our family but in the lives of everyone who loves her.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us cover the costs of Dawn’s transplant, recovery, and the care she needs to live the life she deserves. Every donation brings us closer to giving Dawn a second chance—to more moments with her daughters, more books read, more history explored, and perhaps even one more trip to her beloved Kauai.

Please join us in helping Dawn fight for her life. Together, we can make sure she’s here to create many more beautiful memories.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support.
