James Gray-heart transplant

Hi my name is Carla and I am fundraising for my husband James Gray and he needs a heart transplant. He was born with a weak heart and in his 30's his heart started having complications. He has been in a coma for 3 to 4 days while they were draining 6 litters of fluid out of me because of a weak heart. He only has 10% of his heart function; so they put in an LVAD "heart pump" when he was 46 because his heart was too weak to pump. He had an infection in his drive line that caused him to die and luckily they were able to revive him. He has to wear a 5 pound "man purse" around my neck for the past 6 years that holds the batteries and the small "brain" that runs the LVAD.

The only hope I have for a long life is a heart transplant. I am also diabetic, had my knee replace twice, at this point I have had 20 surgeries just to keep going! I need $10,000 to help aid with my ability to take care of heart post-transplant. The requirements pre and post transplant can be very expensive as the medications, follow up appointments, co-pays and food and lodging will increase. I really appreciate all of you and all your prayers. Thanks
