Lungs for Rox: A Second Chance

Lungs for Rox: A Second Chance

Dear Family and Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to share the story of my wife, Roxanne, and to ask for your support as our family faces a challenging time. Roxanne has been battling Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) for the past year and now is in need of a double lung transplant.

Pulmonary Fibrosis is a serious lung disease where the lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it difficult for the lungs to function properly. While some individuals with PF can remain stable for a while, others see their condition worsen more quickly. As it progresses, breathing becomes increasingly difficult, and the reliance on supplemental oxygen grows.

This transplant is vital for restoring Roxanne’s quality of life and giving her the chance at a healthier future. However, the costs associated with a double lung transplant are overwhelming. From medical bills to post-operative care, medications, and rehabilitation, the financial burden is immense.

We are dedicated to ensuring that Roxanne receives the best possible care, but we cannot do it alone. That’s why we’ve started a fundraising campaign, Lungs for Rox: A Second Chance, to help ease the financial strain of the transplant and the ongoing care she will need.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will have a significant impact on our ability to provide Roxanne with the care she needs. Your generosity will not only help alleviate some of the financial pressure but will also bring hope and support to our family during this difficult time. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing our story with your family and friends would mean the world to us as well.

Thank you for considering our request. Your support, whether through a donation or by spreading the word, can help Roxanne breathe easier and look forward to a brighter future.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to me.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Jamie Caterino & family
