Help Taka come home.
Donation protected
Hi everyone, this is being written by Takas two daughters and her husband. Although Taka has been fighting this journey with Sarcoidosis for several years now, she became critically ill in March of 2023 when she had to be put on life support (Ecmo). Shortly after being put on this machine Taka was transferred to Austin on March 18th, which was substantially further but we continued to drive 3 hours each weekend to visit her. After being unconscious for weeks, even though the odds were heavily against her, Taka chose to continue to fight for her life. For 22 very long weeks Taka did physical therapy everyday in order to be considered for a lung transplant, and although this was emotionally exhausting she never quit. On august 16th Taka was moved to Houston where they are currently evaluating her for a lung (and possible heart) transplant. Even though this is another hour further we will continue to make the drive as long as we have to. After Takas surgery she will need a family member to live in houston with her for a minimum of 3 months for weekly checkups at the transplant hospital. Even when times got hard she never gave up and she continues to inspire us through her strength and determination. So, on behalf of Taka and her entire family, we ask for financial support through this very last hurdle of our very hard journey. No donation is too big or too small and if you are unable to donate, we ask for prayers.
