Scott Renfrow
Transplant Type: Heart
Scott Renfrow is fighting for his life. In 2017, he was diagnosed with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy. Unfortunately, heart disease runs in his family. Scott’s condition leaves him very tired and takes a toll on his quality of life. Doctors say a heart transplant is critical to his survival.
During this difficult time, Scott is grateful for the love and support of his wife of 31 years, Elisa, and their family and friends. Scott and Elisa have four sons, four granddaughters, and two grandsons, and his illness prevents him from being the active husband, father, and grandfather he longs to be. Scott enjoys spending time with his family, drawing, and working outside, but his health limits those activities now. He looks forward to receiving a transplant that will save his life and allow him more years with his family. Scott wants nothing more than to be healthy so he can do things with his family, work outside, and live his life to the fullest. But right now he needs your help.
The average heart transplant costs more than $1 million, and that’s only the beginning. Even with insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, he still faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.
Scott lives 65 miles from his transplant center, and traveling back and forth for appointments can be expensive. When he receives his transplant he will have to stay nearby while he recovers, incurring substantial expenses for travel, food, and lodging. Scott’s health forced him to stop working, further adding to his financial burdens.
