Triple Transplant (stem, lung, bmt)

If you've read my caringbridge, then you know our story & what's going on.  I hesitated to start a "Go fund me" because I was optimistic & thought it would be easy to get a double lung transplant.  However, its not (because I have a weird genetic mutation).  I have found only 1 facility in Texas that will agree to take me on as a patient.   I have been denied at multiple research hospitals in & out of state, including most of the ones in Houston where most of my support system is.  
So...since my savings is gone, and my case won't go to trial until 2017 (which my atty says I won't win much), I'm humbly asking for help for the double lung transplant I need to stay alive.  I will need money to travel  via car, train, or boat (since I'm restricted from ever flying again), for boarding, lodging, & food.  
I've been accepted to 1 transplant center in  Dallas,Texas, and in January will start a week's worth of evaluation.  The one I'm going to also have the facilities to do a bone marrow transplant that I may need in the future.   The doctors feel I don't need it right now because they feel like the Aplastic Anemia is stable on medications (however, the Danazol I'm on is on backorder & I have a few weeks worth-if this runs out, I may need blood transfusions again).  Aerica was just tested to see if she'll be a match for me.  
I'm still looking at other transplant facilities (some outside of Texas) if it doesn't pan out.  I'm hopeful things will work out in Dallas.  We have started using some of the funds this month already, am quite humbled at people donating during Christmas & its very much appreciated.  
This means so much to me because I'm not ready to die, I haven't finished living, and I so want to watch my daughter fall in love someday & to meet my future grandkids.   
I can't tell you how much your gift will mean to our family, because its a priceless one.  I wouldn't want anyone I know to have to go through this, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.  I'm hoping & praying I'm the miracle for you and our Lord, because you should  never, ever give up or lose hope. Love, Linda
