It is my hope that once you read this story, you too will be blessed to give. James needs your help to keep hope alive. James has advanced kidney disease, requiring a kidney transplant or at some point dialysis to survive. His sister, Jonetta, has agreed to donate one of her kidneys to her big brother to maintain a healthy quality of life. We are asking family and friends to join us in fundraising for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to help with expenses James and his family will face after surgery. The expenses will include the cost for lodging near the MUSC transplant center, medical follow ups, and medication following the discharge from the center.
These extraordinary individuals live positive and productive lives within their families, and in the community. James, and his wife of 35 years, provide loving care for their 31-year-old son, whom has special needs. James’employment with the state,coordinating services with organizations throughout South Carolina to help homeless individual and families. Jonetta is the mother of 3 exceptional children. She is a nurse providing care to premature and/or sick newborns. She provides lifesaving techniques to help families to embrace some of the challenges they may face that could affect their whole lives. Her act of kindness of donating a kidney to James is an unconditional love that reaches beyond most people’s understanding.
They would both love to continue doing the work of that has been appointed by God to help others, and your efforts to give financially will help to make their efforts possible.
James has health insurance, however many of the transplant expenses are not covered. He has been told to anticipate as much as $3,000.00 per month for medications and follow up appointments with the post-transplant team alone.
Donations to Help Hope Live can help reduce the financial burden and allow the opportunity for the family to focus on a healthy recovery and the life ahead that has been ordained.
Thank you in advance for your support.
