Double Lung Transplant

Hi, my name is Beverly, and I am fundraising for my son, Kenneth Robinson. Kenny was born on June 21st, 1964. since he was a small boy, he has been in and out of the hospital for severe asthma.

Over a year ago, Ken started the pre-evaluation process to see if he could be accepted as a double lung transplant candidate. He has now been accepted and is on the Lung Transplant List. To stay a candidate, he has to maintain a specific physical condition and weight. He needs to go to Mass. for blood draws, pulmonary function tests, chest x-rays, and six-minute walks every few weeks so they can make sure that he still meets their criteria. The results can also affect where he is on the Lung Allocation System.

Finances are drained as the family has been making trips to Mass. quite regularly for over a year during the pre-evaluation process. Hotels near the hospital tend to be quite costly. The family has also invested in a car that will safely make the trips down and back so they do not have to pay for rentals and can hop in and go when they get the call that there are lungs available for Ken.

We decided to try the "Go Fund Me" page to see if anyone could help in these dire circumstances. We will be grateful for any donation or assistance that anyone can do, however small or even just prayer. We believe God has his hand in all this and this family. If anyone can help in this journey for Ken to continue his life and be a father, husband, uncle, brother and son, we are thankful that you are willing to help and will provide ongoing information as to his progress. Please tell his story to your friends as well, and if you can not give financially, please pray, for we know God will provide the ones who can help. Thank you.
