Trece's Transplant Journey

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Patrece Georgia, and I am fundraising for my journey to lung transplantation. I grew up in Lumberton, MS and spent a majority of my life in Mississippi. After graduating college and graduate school, I was blessed to start my career as a social worker. I enjoyed taking care of families and children in all capacities, and I believed that it was (and still is) my calling. In 2000, I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. This is a disease in which the immune system forms inflammatory cells in different parts of the body. After my initial diagnosis, I lived a fairly normal life, and I was able to work and maintain normal activities; however, all of this changed in 2018, after a pneumonia diagnosis. Since that time, I have dealt with worsening lung damage, which has led to my current circumstance. I am now a candidate for a lung transplant. I have been unable to work due to oxygen requirements, inability to perform daily activities, and arthritic pain. In order to be on the transplant list, I had to relocate to Houston, TX. This was required so that I can be ready to be at the hospital, at any moment, whenever a donor lung becomes available. This sudden life change has caused financial hardship. Although I am nervous about a transplant, I am so thankful to be on the lung transplant list! I am asking that my family and friends give from the heart to help with my medical expenses. I have a long road ahead, and I will need financial support for doctors' visits, medications, bills, and life expenses. I look forward to telling my story of trial to triumph, and I ask that you all keep me in your prayers as I go through this journey.
