On June 14, 2025, my sister Tina Johnson received the incredible gift of a double lung transplant, a life-saving procedure after years of living with interstitial lung disease caused by an autoimmune disorder. We are so grateful to her medical team, to her donor, and to the many friends and family members who have rallied around her.

Now begins a new chapter: recovery, healing, and hope.

As she comes home to rebuild her strength, we’re working hard to make sure her house is a safe, healthy space that supports her recovery and protects her new lungs. Like many people facing a long-term illness, Tina's focus has been on her health. We want her to continue that practice and make updates to her house to a level that matches the new beginning Tina has been given.

We’re raising funds to:
  • Replace carpet with easy-to-clean vinyl flooring
  • Add insulation and seal the crawl space to prevent mold and moisture
  • Install water treatment for her well
  • Deep-clean and paint to refresh the space
  • Get essential home items like air purifiers, curtains, rugs, pet supplies, and organization tools
  • Cover a few caregiving and recovery expenses like meals, medications support, and basic household needs

Every dollar will help us create a cleaner, safer, and more peaceful environment where Tina can rest, recover, and thrive.

Even $5 or $10 makes a real difference. If you can’t give, sharing this with others helps too.

Thank you for being part of this journey! We’re so excited for the life ahead of her, and so grateful for the support that makes it possible.
