Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 , I am pretty darn sure that your banker should be able to set up your bank account just the right way for donations, tax breaks, and all else. We have a few people locally who oversee fundraising and distribution of funds. My friends that have had these fund raisers and open ended accounts can't just take the money out to pay bills. One friend that had a kidney transplant didn't use all the money, so it was kept in a trust fund and when he has new expenses--say he has to travel for doctor's appointment or something, the trustee issues the the money or reimburses him. I would talk to your banker first before spending the money on an attorney. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. I think it is wonderful that a fund is beginning for you.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 -----Original Message----- Hi, newbie here with a dilemma, If the PSC is back should I get on the list again or is it time to go? Hi , IMHO there is no dilemma…..Never, Never give up!! You’ve been there, done that, you know what to expect and know how wonderful life can be on the other side of transplant. You had 6 good years, next time who knows, you might have 26! Things are changing all the time, new procedures, new medicines, new doctors, who knows how long any of us will live? We just have to keep trying and working at it. There must be a lot of people who love you and would want you to keep living, I know I do and I just met you. Besides that, your past transplants you walked alone, now that you found us, you have at your very finger tips a load of good folks who will be at your beck (or hunt & peck) and call. We’ll keep you informed, work for more organ donors and eventually a cure. And we’ll do it with a sense of humor, through good times and bad with honesty and caring, you’ll never be alone again. We have others who are going for a 3rd organ or have already had their 3rd. You’re in good company. Now , repeat our Motto after me…Together in the Fight, Whatever it Takes! Welcome to the group.
