Sandra McClinton
Donation protected
Family and friends of Sandra McClinton are raising money to help cover the costs of her pending double lung transplant.
We've chosen GoFundMe as an option because their platform is well known and their administrative expenses are low (2.9%). You can be certain that at least 97% of your contribution will be used to cover the costs of Sandra's surgery and rehabilitation.
About Sandra:
Sandra has Sarcoidosis, a disease that commonly attacks the lungs but can effect any organ in the body. It is a slow progressing disease that she has had for 30+ years.
Recently Sandra was diagnosed with end-stage lung disease and her only chance for survival is a double lung transplant. She has been accepted into the Heart and Lung Transplant Program at UCSF and has been on the transplant donor list since March 2018. "I feel blessed to be a part of the UCSF program because they are one of the best in the country," she says. However, it is going to be an expensive undertaking.
Sandra has health insurance and some savings, but one of the UCSF requirements is to remain no more than 30 minutes away from UCSF for at least 6 weeks following the surgery. This means she will have to stay in a hotel for at least 6 weeks at a cost of approximately $140.00 per night. After the surgery there are roughly 30 medications that Sandra will need and some of them cost $10,000 per month. She has prescription drug coverage but her deductibles and co-payments will be high. She also doesn't know how much the surgery will cost and what those deductibles and co-payments will be. There are other miscellaneous costs, but the surgery and medications are her major concerns.
Any and all contributions -- no matter how small -- will help cover the costs of Sandra's double lung transplant. They are deeply appreciated.
