Support Dan Nelson's Liver Transplant Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, we’re Sue and Mike Loff, long-time friends of Dan and Kim Nelson. Today, we’re reaching out with full hearts and a humble request to support two of the most generous people we know during one of the most difficult times in their lives.

If you know Dan and Kim, you know they are the heart of their family and friends—always the first to lend a hand, offer a kind word, or show up when someone is in need. Now, it’s our turn to show up for them.

Over the years, the Nelsons have faced immense medical challenges. Kim is a two-time colon cancer survivor, and now Dan is fighting his own battle. After years of living with liver disease and diabetes, Dan was hospitalized multiple times before finally receiving a life-saving liver transplant. The donor match was rare, and we believe it was nothing short of a miracle.

While the transplant was successful, the journey is far from over. The recovery process is long and complex, and the financial burden is staggering. Liver transplants can cost over a million dollars, and despite insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses are overwhelming.

To make matters more difficult, Dan was laid off just before Christmas 2024 while still on the transplant waiting list.

We’re asking for your help to raise funds to cover:

• Hospital bills from the transplant surgery
• Lifelong anti-rejection medications
• Follow-up visits and lab testing
• Travel expenses to and from the transplant center
• Loss of income during recovery

Every donation—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this page with your network. Your support, prayers, and kindness mean the world to Dan, Kim, and their family.

Thank you for standing with them during this time. Your generosity is helping them take one step closer to healing and hope.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sue and Mike Loff
