Help Paul Franson After Life-Saving Heart Transplant

After 26 years of living with heart failure and 6 years dependent on an LVAD, our beloved father and grandfather of four, Paul Franson, has received the gift of life—a heart transplant. This miracle has given our family hope and more precious time with him, but it has also come with a heavy financial burden.

Paul has accumulated significant medical bills over the years from ongoing treatments, procedures, and now transplant care. His recovery also requires a lifestyle shift that comes with new expenses—lifelong anti-rejection medications, physical therapy equipment, ongoing medical supplies, and frequent trips from Lincoln to Omaha for follow-up care.

In addition, his daughter (and caregiver) has taken extended time off work to support his recovery, resulting in lost income. We're asking for any amount you can give to help cover:

Medical bills (past and ongoing)

Travel and gas for hospital visits

Recovery essentials and post-surgery needs

Lost wages during this critical time

There’s no specific goal—we are incredibly grateful for any help, big or small. Every donation helps lift the burden so Paul can focus on healing and adjusting to his new life with a healthy heart.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support.
