Please help support Bennett Edwards' Lung Transplant Journey

l was diagnosed with Williams-Campbell Syndrome but that was only brought to my attention after being hospitalized in late September 2024 for severe, recurring pneumonia. When I say severe and recurring, I mean I have been treated for pneumonia roughly 18 times in the last three years, and it’s getting worse each time. Faster onset, more severe, harder to get well from.

l need a double lung transplant in 2025, and will need the love and support of my entire tribe in order to recover successfully.

It’s quite literally life or death for me. The price tag for the procedure is ridiculous at $2.5 million dollars. I will be paying for that for the rest of my life.

I am trying to raise funds to facilitate just being able to get through the qualification and ranking process in the next few months.

There will be trips to clinics in Northern VA and North Carolina to determine eligibility and priority. Travel is expensive, and time out of work creates insurmountable need for financial help. Your generous donation will be used to get me the medical attention I require.

I would like to thank everyone who has already donated, and will try to do so individually. Please share my Gofundme with your friends and family to expand the efforts you have all so generously made!

I’d like to eventually get back to full speed working, making great tattoos for exceptional people.

Special thanks to my partner Amber for launching this fundraising effort, for all the kind words, and efforts above and beyond what anyone could hope for.

Thank you in advance for your love and support! Thank you so much for those who have made generous donations, those who shared this, and for those who have simply reached out/connected/sent messages of encouragement and support. We are SO GRATEFUL for you!
