Help hope live

Dear Friends, Family and Community,

My mother, Elaine I. Lundy is 60 years young and although she has never been a smoker, she is very ill with two rare and life-threatening conditions. Pulmonary Fibrosis and Pulmonary Hypertension respectively, are affecting her heart and both of her lungs. Her only hope for survival is to receive a life-saving double lung transplant.

Elaine attended medical school at the University of California at Irvine, and for close to 30 years has been a Family Physician practicing in both the Bahamas and the United States. Her passion to help others has given her the strength to tirelessly serve her patients, though weary and under oxygenated, day in and day out until she could no longer physically go on. Imagine being a physician on oxygen moving from room to room seeing patients while defying an illness that is hell bent on taking you down.  She now needs your help so that she can continue to do the work she loves.

Elaine is now facing the overwhelming cost of transplant. Transplants are life-saving but they are financially draining. Even with insurance, there are many expenses that are not covered and must be paid out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles, lab fees, travel to and from the Stanford University Hospital and relocation at the time of transplant. In addition, Elaine will be on a life-time of very expensive anti-rejection medications. This puts our family up against a challenge we cannot meet alone and desperately need your help.

A fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the and Southwest Lung Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.
