Hi. I am 43 years old. In November of 2022, I went to the hospital because I was having trouble breathing. I have asthma, so I thought that I would need a simple breathing treatment. I was taken to the back to have some tests run on me. When I woke up, I was told that I had been in a coma for almost thirty days. Upon waking up, I was on oxygen, I had digestive issues, but the biggest one was my liver was failing. Once I left the hospital, I was on oxygen and I needed constant medical testing done to determine the cause of the problems. I was told when I first came into the hospital that I had Covid and that's why I fell into a coma during a normal endoscopy procedure. Since then, I haven't been able to work due to constant appointments and due to the need for an oxygen concentrator. Since then, I have run out of finances and people who are able to help me. In May, I found out that my doctor put me on a liver transplant list. I love life. Making another person's day makes my day even though I am going through this situation. Without having an income or any type of assistance with co-pays, rides to and from the doctor, and medications, I haven't been able to afford to get to my appointments, or to even get the medications needed to keep me going until I can get my transplant. Usually, I get transfusions to help keep my oxygen in my blood stable and I take Lactulose for hepatic encephalopathy. I created this page to ask for help with expenses for medication, co-pay for the specialist, and for the funds needed to travel to Vanderbilt University for the transplant. Thank you for reading my story and if you are unable to help financially, please help just by sharing this post. Thank you.
