Urgent: Deron Needs Your Help for Transplant

Help Deron Wells Get the Lifesaving Lung Transplant He’s Been Approved For

Our beloved friend, father, and husband Deron Wells is in the fight of his life — and time is running out.

Deron has advanced lung cancer and has been medically approved by doctors at both UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for a double lung transplant. This procedure is his only path to survival — and the medical teams are ready to act.

But despite these clear medical approvals, Cigna, his health insurance provider, is refusing to authorize the transplant and the emergency medical transport needed to get him to Chicago. Without immediate intervention, Deron may not survive.

We are raising $1.5 million to cover:

• Emergency air medical transport to Northwestern

• The double lung transplant procedure

• Post-surgery recovery and care

• Temporary relocation expenses to support his family during the process

Deron is one of the most loyal, kind-hearted people you’ll ever meet. He has given everything to his friends, his family, and his community — and now, we are coming together to fight for his life.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to giving Deron the chance he deserves. Please give what you can, and share this page widely.

Let’s save our friend. Let’s show Cigna and the world that this life matters.
