My brother, a devoted family man and lifelong hockey player, is facing a major setback in his fight against Type II diabetes. After being placed on the donor list for a pancreas and kidney, doctors discovered a serious heart issue that now requires open-heart surgery—temporarily removing him from the transplant list.

The Type II diabetes has ended his full-time work status, and now even his part-time job that helps support his family and their needs, along with the immense cost of lodging, food, and transportation for his family to be by his side during his 10-day hospital stay and follow-up care, has become overwhelming. Your help will ease the financial burden so he can focus on healing and getting back on the donor list.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.
