What if you had the opportunity to save a life?
Michael Feiman is fighting for his life. In 2011, he was diagnosed with nonalcoholic steatohepatits (NASH). His condition has continued to worsen, and now doctors say a liver transplant is critical to his survival.
During such a challenging time, Michael is thankful for his wife, Nancy, their two children, family and friends. He wishes they didn’t have to be so concerned about his health, but he is grateful for their love and support. Before his health began to decline, he enjoyed traveling, walking and sightseeing, but these days, his activities are quite limited due to fatigue. Michael looks forward to the transplant that will allow him to live his life with as few limitations as possible, and to spend many more years making memories with his family, but right now, he needs your help.
Unfortunately, Michael’ hope for a new life comes at a very high price. The average liver transplant costs approximately $878,000. And that’s only the beginning. Even with health insurance, which will cover the cost of the transplant, he faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.
Michael lives more than 130 miles from the transplant center, and he incurs substantial expenses each time he visits for evaluations and doctors’ appointments. When he receives his transplant, Michael and his caregiver will need to stay near the hospital, during recovery, adding to the financial strain. He and his son are also die hard Red sox fans You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to NFT in honor of Michael. If you'd prefer to send your gift by mail, please send it to National Foundation for Transplants, 3249 W. Sarazen’s Circle, Suite 100, Memphis, TN 38125. Please be sure to write "in honor of Michael Feiman” in the memo line.
Thank you for your generosity!
