Help Samuel Allen Breathe Easier — Support His Journey to a Double Lung Transplant

Our beloved Sam Allen, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend — has been diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a rare and progressive lung disease that causes scarring of the lungs and makes it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Since his diagnosis, Sam has been traveling multiple times a week to Portland for testing and treatment. Now, he must begin traveling 200 miles every week to Boston for advanced testing and preparing for what we hope will be a life-saving double lung transplant.

This transplant is his best chance at reclaiming his health and continuing to be here for the people who love him so deeply.

Unfortunately, this comes with a significant financial burden — including travel expenses, hotel stays, gas, meals, and time away from work.

Our family is doing everything we can, but we can’t do it alone. We’re asking for help from anyone who’s able, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign, to support us and ease the financial strain during this critical time.

If you know Sam, you know that he has always been the one to show up for others. Now, we’re hoping people can show up for him.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.
