Help Frank and Mandy Through Transplant Journey
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my family and I are fundraising for our brother Frank and sister-in-law Mandy. Frank has been diagnosed with end stage liver disease and doctors have advised a transplant as the best course of action. Not only has his liver failed, but his one functioning kidney is failing secondary to side effects from multiple medications and he will require a kidney transplant in the near future.
Frank has been on a liver transplant list for 10 months without success. Our incredible sister in law Mandy has selflessly chosen to be a living donor to save Frank's life. After countless tests, Mandy found out that she is a match! This was the most amazing news we could hope for. The transplant has been scheduled for July 15 at Johns Hopkins Hospital. God is good!!
The transplant process includes the surgery, medications, and post transplant care and is incredibly expensive with insurance not covering all costs. Frank has not been able to work for the past 8 months because of his illness, which has created a financial strain on them. During the recovery process, Mandy will be hospitalized up to one week and out of work 4-6 weeks.
They are facing a daunting financial situation and that's why we are asking for your support. We have set a goal of $7500. Any donation no matter how small will make a difference. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends and family.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
