Liver Transplant Donations for Andrew Hobbs c/o 96!

Andrew is a 37 year old young man that has been enjoying life with his family, including his 7-year old daughter named Kailahn, until 4 years ago when he was faced with the diagnosis of liver failure. The doctor stated that he would possibly need a liver transplant some time down the line. Andrew kept living his life until he became very ill in May of this year. He was admitted into the hospital and learned that he had end-stage liver disease. The doctor said that he would definitely need a liver transplant. He was placed on the waiting list in June and on Thursday, September 4th, 2014, he got the call he dreamed of-he was going to get a new liver! He was admitted into the hospital that same night and the next morning, he had his liver transplant surgery. After 6 ½ long hours, he made it out of the surgery successfully. This surgery would create a new life for him and his family! He is currently in Atlanta right now recovering from the surgery and as anyone knows expenses can add up. He will have to be on anti-rejection medications for the rest of his life along with other maintenance drugs and they can range from $15,000 and up for just one medication! We are asking for monetary donations for traveling, lodging, and medical expenses at this time. He must stay in Atlanta for at least a couple of months and we would greatly appreciate everyone's help in helping to lighten the load for the family at this time.
