Mark Schwartz (age 41) was diagnosed with Systemic Scleroderma back in 2012. This is an Autoimmune disorder which effects all your organs. The body produces an abundance of collagen which hardens his organs. Mark recently underwent a double lung transplant in Vancouver on December 17th. He was only on the transplant list for two weeks. This was sudden but a Christmas Blessing for sure. He is doing amazing but recovery will be 3 to 6 months down in Vancouver. The family will be accruing many living expenses during Marks recovery and any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark is a family man and always willing to help a friend out or go out of his way for someone and he is the most deserving man I know for these new lungs. Please keep sending your prayers and support. Thank you to all the love and support the Schwartz family has already received.
