I'm facing a liver transplant, and I need your help to get there. The transplant itself will be covered, but to be placed on the transplant list, I have to prove I can afford 24/7 live-in care during recovery — and right now, I can't. Without that care plan in place, I don't get listed. Without getting listed, I don't get the transplant.
My son Jason is my only nearby family and my primary caregiver. He's been carrying an enormous weight through this — showing up for every appointment, managing every crisis, holding things together while watching his father fight for his life. It's taking a toll. He needs support too. His mother Dawn has gone far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. She's been taking time off work to drive hours and be here when it matters — while her own life is falling apart. This month alone she got hit with a tax bill she wasn't expecting, and her truck engine died. She's facing her own financial crisis and she's still showing up for us. That's the kind of person she is. I don't want watching me survive to be the thing that destroys her.
Anything raised beyond the minimum will go toward therapy for Jason so he can keep going without being broken by this — and toward being ready for the next emergency, because this year keeps throwing them. Every bit above the minimum helps us stay standing. I'm not good at asking for help. But I'm asking now, because the alternative is not being here. If you've ever thought kindly of me, or if you just believe people should get a shot at living — this is the moment. Anything helps. Thank you.
