Drue Green

Drue is 35 years old and  married to his beautiful wife Kristen.  They have a 4-month old daughter, Emersyn Rose.  Drue is currently a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Detective.   Drue served in the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 3/160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment. 

While serving in Afghanistan, he came in contact with something that  caused a condition known as PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis). PSC is a disease that ultimately causes liver failure. It could have come from the air quality, the food, the water -- the doctors aren’t totally sure of how it was contracted.  
   
He has been doing well and keeping the disease and the symptoms under control for several years, but shortly after his daughter’s birth, his symptoms worsened.  This is when his doctor told him that a liver transplant was his only option.  

Drue has multiple people that have stepped forward to get tested as a possible donor match, but the testing process takes four to six weeks and can only be done one person at a time -- very slow.  Due to the progression of his symptoms and the severity of the disease, the doctors have now placed him  #1 on the deceased transplant list.  Drue and his family just relocated in order to be closer to Piedmont Hospital, which will allow them to keep within the time constraints for when they are notified of an available liver.   

Relocating to another area and the inability of Drue to meet the demands of his job right now is causing financial strain on the family. This GoFundMe was recommended as a means to help by Brit Turner of Blackberry Smoke.

Friends and family that love Drue and this precious family are establishing this account to help with any medical costs that go above what the insurance will cover.   Drue has requested that any money raised and not used towards his medical bills will be donated to a charity of his choosing that will help other Veterans who may be in this same kind of situation.
