<div>Alison Day is one of my closest and dearest friends, and she needs help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It took a lot of convincing for her to allow me to even create this page. Alison is the kind of

</div>

<div>person who would never ask anyone for help—ever, but she needs every one of us to step in at

</div>

<div>this time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Back in November, Alison went to the hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties following

</div>

<div>several weeks of not feeling well. What started as concern quickly turned into something much

</div>

<div>more serious. Doctors discovered that she has liver disease, and in the weeks that followed, it

</div>

<div>became clear that she would need a liver transplant.

</div>

<div>After months of being in and out of the hospital for countless tests and procedures, and being

</div>

<div>prescribed what feels like an alphabet of different medications, doctors discovered that her heart

</div>

<div>is not strong enough to withstand the liver transplant surgery alone. Although she is able to hold

</div>

<div>down a position with her job that is work from home at this time, during all of the hospital stays

</div>

<div>and testing, Alison was not able to work, and following surgery, she will face a long road to

</div>

<div>recovery with continued inability to work.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In order to replace her liver, doctors have determined that she will also need a heart transplant

</div>

<div>at the same time. At this time, the doctors at Johns Hopkins are still determining the best path

</div>

<div>forward, and Alison is waiting to be placed on the transplant lists. Once she is listed, the call for

</div>

<div>surgery could come at any moment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As you can imagine, this has been overwhelming in every possible way—physically, emotionally,

</div>

<div>and financially. The road ahead will include ongoing medical care, transplant procedures,

</div>

<div>recovery time, medications, and significant time away from work.

</div>

<div>Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping Alison with her medical

</div>

<div>expenses that insurance will not cover, and supporting her through this incredibly difficult

</div>

<div>journey. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page would mean just as much.

</div>

<div>Thank you for taking the time to read Alison’s story and for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.
