Transplant Type - Lung

Roseina wanted nothing more than to take a walk with her grandchildren without stopping to catch her breath every few steps. NFT helped her achieve that dream.

Roseina desperately needed a double lung transplant. She suffered from advanced emphysema and was on oxygen for nine years. After months of tests and procedures, she was added to the transplant waiting list for a double lung transplant.

Fortunately, Roseina received her lifesaving transplant in November 2008.

However, Roseina's insurance only covered a portion of the transplant costs, which are estimated at $500,000.

In addition to the transplant itself, she will need a lifetime of follow-up care and daily medications to prevent her body from rejecting her new lungs. These essential medications could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 each month.

Your tax-deductible gift, designated to the Idaho Lung Fund in honor of Roseina, will enable NFT to help Roseina with her transplant-related expenses during this difficult time.
