Lungs for Felicia

My name is Felicia Mccollister and I need a double lung transplant. My mom was in a car accident when she was pregnant with me and my twin sister that caused me to drop and be born premature. I was born with undeveloped lungs along with other health conditions. During my childhood, I was sick a lot with pneumonia. Due to that, I missed a lot of school. I was unable to be active and play with my friends as much as any child should because of my lungs. I have never been able to participate in sports, running, could not exert myself and be active. I’m 21 years old now and have Panlobular Emphysema, Bronchiectasis, Bronchilitis Obliterans, along with severe asthma. I only have 29% lung capacity. I was told that at this point, I have about 2-5 years without transplant. My lungs are rapidly declining. I cannot work and I am currently on disability which isn’t much. I do not have enough money for the transplant or moving costs to move to Seattle for the transplant. Also travel and lodging for appointments.  Like for gas money and to stay in hotels for appointments. I only get money from disability social security. This money will cover all medication costs that are not covered by my insurance, along with copays for appointments. The cost for living in Seattle for the transplant house is at least approximately $2,000-3,000 a month from what I have looked at and I don’t make that much money so the money from GoFundMe would be helping with rent costs. Even if I’m not living at the transplant house, rent will be between $1,700 and 4,000 a month. I would love and appreciate any and all support.
Right now, I won’t even be able to get referred for transplant again until I have raised at lease $10,000
I want to be able to live my life and do things that everyone should be able to do like go for a run or play basketball, go hiking and every goal and every little thing that I can do. I want to see my son grow up. I want to go to college, study and maybe get a career in Music Therapy or work with animals. I want to travel the world and so many other things that I can’t do right now. Please help me live!!!

Edit: I was informed that for the first 3 months after transplant, medication will be about 6k a month and after that, will be 3k a month for the rest of my life. For 12 years of medication, it will cost about $450,000
