Joe, a Navy veteran was diagnosed with liver disease about 2 years ago.We were told that he needed a liver transplant and that the after care would not be covered by insurance. Aftercare included a 3 week stay at a facility close to the hospital. As a nurse I (Trish) could fulfill the requirement of having a 24/7 nurse on hand after surgery. Doing this prevented me from working. After being turned down by many charities, Brave-Aid covered convalescent housing, 2 months rent, and utilities. They required this to be committed in advance of searching for a compatible liver for Joe to avoid any financial stress that could encumber his recovery. Brave-Aid was there for every step of the way. Thank you Brave-Aid for helping save Joe.
