Pam Pack
Transplant Type: Liver
Pam Pack is fighting for her life. In 2015, she was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Her diagnosis came as a shock, as there is no history of liver disease in her family. Pam’s illness causes her pain, extreme fatigue, and takes a toll on her quality of life. Doctors say a liver transplant is critical to her survival.
During this difficult time, Pam is grateful for the love and support of her partner of 18 years, Kenneth, and their family and friends. Over the years, Pam has had to deal with the loss of her son, Brandon, and her niece, Jennifer. She served as a foster mom to many children, and adopted a son, Ashton, who is now 18. Pam also has five grandchildren. Her family is very worried about her health.
Pam enjoys riding horses and spending time with her loved ones, but her health limits her activities now. She looks forward to receiving a transplant that will save her life and allow her to feel like herself again. She wants nothing more than to be healthy so she will feel better, have more energy, and be able to think clearly again. But right now she needs your help.
The average liver transplant costs approximately $812,000, and that’s only the beginning. Even with insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, she still faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of her life, she will need follow-up care and anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to her survival as the transplant itself.
Pam lives 150 miles from her transplant center. When she receives her transplant, she will have to temporarily relocate to be nearby, incurring substantial expenses for travel, food, and lodging.
