A Gift That Will Keep Giving


Editor's note: If you have been blessed by this ministry, I ask that you join me in supporting Kendra Bodison with your financial support and prayers. Please read the note below and continue to pray for this family.

Kendra Bodison : Yemassee, SC
Transplant Type: Heart


Kendra, a devoted wife and mother, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure five months after giving birth to her son. Medication did not improve Kendra's condition, and doctors say a heart transplant is her only hope for a second chance at life.

Before her diagnosis, Kendra worked as a social worker and loved the opportunities her profession gave her to serve others. She looks forward to the lifesaving transplant that will let her be the wife, mother and professional she aspires to be.

A heart transplant costs approximately $650,000, and that's only the beginning. Even with health insurance, Kendra will face significant medical expenses. For the rest of her life, she will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. The cost of post-transplant medications can range from $2,000 to $5,000 per month--and they are as critical to her survival as the transplant itself.

Kendra must raise $30,000 before she can even be added to the transplant waiting list.

You can help! Your gift to the NFT South Carolina Heart Fund will enable NFT to assist with Kendra's transplant expenses. If you prefer to mail your gift, please send it to NFT South Carolina Heart Fund, 5350 Poplar Ave., Suite 430, Memphis, TN 38119. Please be sure to write "in honor of Kendra Bodison" in the memo line.
