Help Brett get a dbl lung transplant

Hi my name is Amanda Whitaker and I am starting a GoFundMe page for my husband Brett Whitaker. Brett has a genetic lung disorder called Alpha-1 antrypsin lung dificiency. He is only 36yrs old and needs a double lung transplant. His health has gotten really bad over the last few years. Unfortunately since he doesn't have 10plus conservative years work history that means he doesn't qualify for SSID or Medicare so he only receives SSI. We called the lung transplant center at Emory Hospital in Atlanta and they said the only option he has is to pay out of pocket. We have 4 beautiful children and don't have the money to start the process. His last pulmonologist appointment which was less than a month ago the doctor told him he needs a lung transplant and very soon if not he won't make it to see 40. The lower sacs of his lungs are collapsed. Alpha-1 antrypsin lung deficiency (AAT) is an inherited condition that raises your risk for lung and liver disease. Alpha-1 antrypsin (AAT) is a protein that protects the lungs. The liver makes it, if the AAT proteins aren't the right shape they get stuck in the liver cells and can't reach the lungs. Symptoms are: shortness of breath, chronic bronchitis ( irritation of your airways that makes you cough a lot and causes breathing problems, excessive cough with phlegm, wheezing, COPD, emphysema, decrease in exercise capacity and a persistent low energy state or tiredness, chest pain that increases when breathing in. There is no cure for AAT deficiency.. they have treatments to slow down the progression which are lifelong. He receives aerolast- which is recycled plasma every week. Alpha-1 also affects the heart..this is a disorder of large and small blood vessels in the lung that leads to increased pressure or hypertension in the large vessels leading to the lungs from the right side of the heart. In severe cases, the increasing pressure inside the right side of the heart can lead to right heart failure.. the signs for that are tiredness, heart beating faster when you stand up And weight loss. Brett is a zz type and that's the worst kind there is. Brett is on oxygen 24/7 and has only 26 percent lung function. In the last recent months Brett cant even take a shower or walk to the bathroom with his oxygen on without gasping for air. His heart is beating twice as fast as mine to try and keep up. He has all of the symptoms above that I mentioned. It is a struggle to get out of bed most days. Once we hit 20k they can start his process on getting him started with the transplant process. Our two year old daughter also has this genetic lung disease. We would greatly appreciate any and all help and if you would like to see his medical history I can provide that also. I am not trying to ask for a handout I'm trying to ask for help. I am also going to be doing fundraisers to try and raise money as well.
