Hello, my name is Leslie, and I am raising funds for my best friend of 40 years, Julie.

If you know her, you know that Julie is the kind of person who shows up every time. She has spent her life giving her time, talents, love, and support to anyone in need, often without hesitation and never expecting anything in return. Now, for the first time, she needs help.

Julie is facing the fight of her life. She is in need of a DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT, a life-saving procedure that has completely turned her and her family's world upside down. As a result of her illness and the intense medical care required, both she and her husband will be unable to work. Their focus is entirely on survival, treatment, and the long road ahead.

While insurance helps with some medical costs, there are many overwhelming expenses it does not cover. This includes:

Some medications

Housing and living expenses both here and in Pittsburgh

Travel, recovery, and post-transplant needs.

The financial strain during this time is immense, and no one should have to face it while fighting for their life.

We are asking for help to ease this burden so Julie can focus on what truly matters - her health, healing, and hope. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you're unable to give financially, please consider sharing this page and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.

After a lifetime of giving to others, it's our turn to give back to Julie.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

With gratitude,

Leslie
