Dear Family and Friends,
Breathing is something most of us take for granted. I know I did. But when your lungs don’t provide the air you need, your body becomes paralyzed and you can’t move. It’s a very painful and frightening experience to go through. I’ve been slowly losing lung capacity since I was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) about three years ago.
Now, even with oxygen, I find it very difficult to perform simple tasks such as walking upstairs or even getting dressed. After breathing tests, x-rays and a CAT scan of my lungs, the results show that my disease has progressed and a double lung transplant is necessary. It’s really my only chance of survival. Through the gift of transplantation, I hope to some day return to a fairly normal life, both professionally and personally.
Organ transplantation is life saving, but very expensive. Financing this procedure is a monumental task, and my wife and I need help from our family and friends in order to survive. There are many pre- and post-transplant expenses that are not covered by my insurance.
To help ease this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with the National Transplant Assistance Fund (NTAF) for my uninsured expenses. NTAF is a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 25 years. All donations are tax-deductible and are administered for transplant-related expenses only.
