Rachel's New Lung

Donation protected
Hey everyone my beautiful mother Rachel needs a new lung. 1 year ago my mom was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. This is a progressive terminal disease & the ONLY cure is a lung transplant! She was given only 3 years to live & is dependent on 4-10 liters of oxygen at all times. Her life was changed within days, she had to give up her business, stop working & begin her new normal of hauling portable oxygen tanks that only last 45 minutes each or be confined to home on a continuous oxygen  concentrator. 
She has qualified for the transplant list through Emory Transplant Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. But they will not place her on the list until we can pay $6,700 upfront. Of course our expenses will be far greater as I will not be able to work for 3-6 months in order care for my mom. We are in a great need of help. If you my friends can spare any change, any few dollars please help me support my mother.  I would greatly appreciate you simply sharing this post, please.
A suitable lung match doesn't come along everyday & just knowing that she may miss her match because she won't even be placed on the list until payment is due breaks my heart. I have to reach out to you all, because I need to save my Mom, because I need her to live, because she is the most special & selfless person , because she dedicated her life to raise my children, because I can't let anyone put a price on my mother's life!! Not without a fight! Not without our God manifesting in all His glory in this fight! 
From the bottom of my heart I thank you all for your prayers, your support, your love & kindness during this journey with my family. May God bless you. PLEASE if you are able to assist in any way contact me soon, time is of the essence!  Just by sharing this post is helping us. https://www.emoryhealthcare.org/centers-programs/lung-transplant-program/about.html
