Craig Pruett's Double Lung Transplant Recovery

Donation protected
This is your opportunity to donate to a very worthy cause. Please take the time to read through this request.

In 2021, Craig Pruett was one of millions who fell extremely ill to Covid. A former Alabama State Trooper and part of the ALEA Task force, Craig was a very active Law Enforcement Officer who made a difference in lives of so many people. A family man who's lasting impression on many people were cut short due to the aftermath Covid left on his lungs. On a ventilator for almost a year, Craig's lung capacity was limited to a fraction of a healthy person and left him with an uphill battle each day to do simple tasks that we all take for granted like simply moving to another room.

Recently, Craig was approved for a Double Lung transplant, the only viable option for him to have any quality of life and more importantly, to give him a future with his family that he may not have otherwise. It is a selfless gift (lungs) that someone has given him and you can also give a gift as well.

However, this will come at a huge cost and will require quite a bit of assistance. I have asked Craig and Sara what we can do to help them once this transplant has completed because it will require Sara to continue caring for him without any income for the duration of his recovery.

Here is a sample of the mountain they are climbing:
  • Co-pays for DLT Surgery $1500
  • Surgeon visits twice a week for 3 months is $840
  • Medicine for 3 months $1100
  • Lodging for 3 months $900 if we are able to get one of the apartments through the transplant program.
  • Meals and essentials for 3 months $1500
  • Mortgage payments for 3 months $3000
  • (From Sara) I deliver for (meal delivery) in Gadsden on the weekends to pay our Mortgage. I won't be able to do that while living in Birmingham during Craig's recovery. He's not allowed to be left alone at all. He must have someone with him 24/7 during those 3 months.

Many of you contributed a few years ago to help Craig come home off the ventilator. You played a huge part in Craig and his family's life. Please consider a donation while factoring in the mountain of bills that are soon to become overwhelming. See this video here. https://www.facebook.com/1002976228/videos/981035950366666/
