Mike Braford:

Loving husband, father, grandfather, and Sparta resident for over 60 years!

Transplant Type: Lung

In 2017 Mike was diagnosed with COPD, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis. His doctors said a lung transplant was CRITICAL to his survival.
In December 2017 Mike received new lungs - - an absolute BLESSING!! He recovered in the hospital for 3 weeks and now is home recovering for several more months.

Unfortunately, Mike’s new life-giving lungs come at a very high price. The average lung transplant cost $929,000 and that’s not including the hospital expenses related to surgery. Even with insurance that covers a portion of the transplant costs, Mike will have to pay for follow-up care, rehabilitation, and daily anti-rejection medications, all of which are critical to his survival.

The National Foundation for Transplants (NFT) is working with volunteers and supporters to help with Mike’s growing burden of expenses. THANK YOU from the entire Braford Family for your continued prayers and donations!!

You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to NFT in honor of Mike. If you'd prefer to send your gift by mail, please send it to the Michigan Transplant Fund,  3249 W. Sarazens Circle, Suite 100, Memphis, TN 381259. Please be sure to write "in honor of Mike Braford” on the memo line. 

Thank you for your generosity!
