Georgia Graham is in need of a kidney transplant.  She is eligible for one in all ways but one – she needs to save $4000 prior to being made active on the transplant list at the Medical College of Georgia. 

You may wonder why someone with insurance or even with Medicare needs to have money to have live-saving medical treatments.  In the case of transplant patients, the immune suppressing medications that are necessary for the rest of the patient’s life cost over $1800 a month.  The total amount, in the case of a patient on Medicare, is not covered by insurance.  The patient is left needed an additional $360 a month for the remainder of his or her life to just cover this particular part of the transplant procedure.

There are four things you can do to help Georgia Graham.

1. You can pray that she will raise the money and meet any other requirements and receive the transplant she needs.
2. You can go to Art Auctions for Charity – I designed the button on the blog – and bid on some of the wonderful donations that are being auctioned off to benefit Georgia’s transplant fund.
3. You can become an organ and tissue donor.
4. You can visit the blog that will explain Georgia’s situation.  If the story so moves you, please make a monetary donation.
