Hi my name is Michele & I received a liver transplant on the 2nd of January and a new kidney on January 3rd. I was released from the hospital this past Tuesday (01-14-25). Upon leaving the hospital I was asked to pay just shy of 500.00 to pay for my anti-rejection meds and other meds like insulin, pain medication, stool softeners, diabetes meds and others. I still have all my staples and although in pain, I am doing my best to push through the pain and walk and exercise to strengthen my muscles and heal faster. I am 100% disabled and although I do get social security disability money, it does not compare to what I made when working. I am not going to be able to support myself and afford my monthly medication. I am beyond grateful to the family who donated their child’s organs to me. I can not even begin to understand their grief and believe me I grieve their loss with them. Very emotional subject for me as I find myself crying for their incredible loss, a beyond words grateful for the organ donation, which has given me a second chance at life. I found out I had Hep C which ruined my liver (probably from a blood transfusion received in my twenties). Tested many times for Hep C (even donated blood many times) and always tested negative for it, until my late 40’s when I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of liver and/or end stage liver failure. I am 58 now, never an alcoholic or drug addict and facing losing my life due to having Hep C which resulted in my diagnosis and my liver which through me into kidney failure. Now I’m scared of not being able to afford my medication to keep my body from rejecting the transplanted organs I received or keeping a roof over mine and my girls heads. Please help if you can, it will be a great blessing received and appreciated. Love & Blessings to All. God is good! All the time!! Thank you to our Heavenly Father 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
