Thank you for visiting our GiveInKind Support Page. This will serve as the central hub for updates, communication, resources, and support for Fred and his family throughout his liver transplant journey. As a family, we are doing our best to make meaningful memories this summer while preparing for the fall. This includes getting the home ready for Fred’s recovery and organizing care and support for Leah and the children. We are praying for the Lord’s provision during this season as we complete necessary home projects earlier than planned to create a safe, healthy, and restful space for Fred’s healing throughout the winter months. We are deeply grateful for your love, encouragement, and most of all, your prayers. If you feel led to contribute financially, donations can be made through this page (Venmo Link & Gift Card Options below). When giving, please note: “Hope for Fred: Gift.” Your generosity will help support a range of anticipated needs, including travel to and from Mass General Brigham in Boston, lodging for Leah, parking, meals, short-term disability gaps, and ongoing medical appointments following the procedure. As additional needs arise, we will continue to provide updates here. Thank you again for walking alongside us in this journey.

We are so grateful for all the ways people are choosing to support our family during this time. In regard to food support, due to health considerations and dietary restrictions, gift cards to grocery stores are the most helpful option at this time. Preferred locations include Whole Foods and Stop & Shop. To donate or give a gift online, please notate: “Hope for Fred: Gift.”
