Ty's Lung Transplant Support Fund

Donation protected
My son-in-law, Ty Olmstead who is a 69 yr old  Vietman Veteran had a lung transplant a year ago and not doing well at all.  He has been in rejection the last 6 months and fighting for his life.  He has been in and out of the hospital all year. Just last friday she had to call 911 . Since this last trip to the hosptial it is now necessary for him to be on oxygen 100% of the time as the new lung is not functioning as it should.  It is very hard for my daughter to work full time having to spend so much time going back and forth to the hospital which is an hour drive each way.  When he's not in the hospital he has to make the trip  for clinic/ dr apts at least once a week sometimes more often, My daughter, Shirley who is 61 has done her best to keep working to bring in income but they have reached a point that she is unable to keep up with the bills.  They are struggling to keep up their mortage, insurance, car note and everyday living expenses as well as the additional expense of the 22 medications he has to be on after his transplant.  They also have a 10 year old daughter,Breanna, whom they adopted at birth who needs to be cared for as well. They have sold eveything they had  of value to help make ends meet.  Struggling with all the medical issues and Ty fighting for his life is stress enough without having to worry on how to make ends meet.  Please if you can find it in your heart to help this family out in anyway it would be greatly appreciated.  There is not a more harder working person I know than my daughter and this family is so deserving of help.
