This fundraiser wouldn't be happening if it weren't for the Truesdale's. Shirley came to me wanting to help us, knowing what we would be going through by getting a kidney for Ty and all the cost included. Shirley's husband Kirk is needing a liver transplant and has been waiting for some time. They have had a long and hard road and God has provided for them in mysterious ways and they continue to have the faith that God will provide. So please join us in the fight for both of our loved ones.

Kirk, Shirley & Kayla TruesdaleKirk is 49 years old. He is a loving husband and father to a beautiful 12 year old daughter; who loves her daddy deeply, and is very invested in his fight for life! Kirk was diagnosed with hepatitis and advanced liver disease 5 years ago. he has been fighting ever since. His only chance at survival now is a liver transplant. He is awaiting a liver through the UNOS National Transplant Listing service. He has been waiting now for over 2 years.
Kirk is unable to work and relies solely on a small disability check and his wife's income. Because of the enormous expenses associate with this illness, hiss transplant will not be possible without your financial help. The cost of this transplant is very expensive, even with insurance. Just the co-pays on the required immunosuppressant and anti-rejection medications following his transplant will run $1500-$2000 a month for the rest of his new liver's life. This does not include the possible costs of additional medical complications. Each year he has been in the hospital 6-7 times for the related medical issues.
Because Kirk is seeking his transplant from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, GA and we live in North Carolina; the travel and lodging expenses, lost work time for his wife and care for his daughter become an increasing burden too an already emotional and costly situation. He must travel to GA constantly for treatment and once Kirk receives a liver, his family will need to relocate their entire lives to GA for 6-8 weeks. They have already lost their home and their bills continue to mount. You can help!
Family and friends of Kirk Truesdale are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with his liver transplant.
"No matter how big our storms are, we must have Faith in our Life that God never leaves us; without Faith we could not travel this journey. Without His strength we could not continue this fight. May God richly bless you as He has richly blessed us!" - Kirk

Meg,
Your stories always brings tears to my eyes. I love you and I have faith in you and in God that he will see your family through all of this. Like you said, God works in mysterious ways. Maybe he brought Ty through this so you could help other families too, going through similar situations, like the Truesdale's. I will be at the fundraiser and I will tell everyone about it. Make a facebook page for the fundraiser event and also an events invitation on there. This will get the word out. I can help you if you want! Love ya! God Bless!
