Randy Warner
Transplant Type: Liver
What if you were living on borrowed time?
Randy Warner is fighting for his life. In, April 2021, he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. Randy’s illness came as quite the shock as there is no family history of liver issues. His condition has continued to worsen, and doctors say a liver transplant is critical to his survival.
While this has been a very difficult time for Randy, his wife, Lisamarie, their children, family, and friends, it has also brought them closer together, and given them perspective on what matters most in life. Before his health began to decline, Randy enjoyed fishing and being active with his family, but these days, his activities are quite limited due to exhaustion and fatigue. Randy looks forward to the transplant that will allow him to live his life fully again. More than anything, he wants the opportunity to spend many more years making memories with his loved ones and to meet his future grandchildren, but right now, he needs your help.
Unfortunately, Randy’ hope for a new life comes at a very high price.
The average liver transplant costs approximately $878,000. And that is only the beginning. Even with health insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, 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 are as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.
Randy does not live close to the transplant center, and he incurs substantial expenses each time he visits for evaluations and doctors’ appointments. When he receives his transplant, Randy and Lisamarie may need to stay near the hospital, during recovery, adding to the financial strain.
You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to the National Foundation for Transplants in honor of Randy.
If you'd prefer to send your gift by mail, please send it to the National Foundation for Transplants, 3249 W. Sarazen’s Circle, Suite 100, Memphis, TN 38125. Please be sure to write "in honor of Randy Warner” in the memo line.
Thank you for your generosity!
