"We don’t think you’re going to live past the weekend...”
It’s hard to imagine how you’d feel hearing those words spoken by a doctor at the end of your hospital bed.
Delivered calmly, gently, and with devastating honesty – they are words John won’t ever forget. John needed a new lung and to keep up his strength while he waited patiently.
For people on our ward right now, waiting for a new heart or set of lungs, your quiet act of compassion and kindness today could make all the difference.
You see, being on the waiting list for a heart or lung transplant is no guarantee you’ll get one. But one thing is for certain — You have to stay strong enough to survive this most serious of surgeries.
And that’s where you kindness is so very crucial
In giving, you might help provide for the Vapotherm machine that let warmed air flow more gently around John’s failing lungs when oxygen is no longer enough…
In giving, you might help provide patients with an exercise bike so they can keep moving, even when one more step feels impossible.
In giving, you might even provide the bedding for a recliner chair so a wife can remain beside her beloved through difficult nights.
Please, will you give to the Mater Hospital Foundation today and help keep people like John strong enough to survive life-saving surgeries and so much more?
