When Lily Evans was 6, she received a heart/double lung transplant in Michigan. The journey before, during and since the transplant has been full of challenges, even causing the family to leave their home, families and church to move to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in order for their now 8 year old daughter to get the post transplant care she needs. The family has given up a lot so Lily can get the best medical care possible. We want to surround this family with our love, support and encouragement as their journey continues to be a difficult one. So, we felt led to channel our efforts towards raising funds to help the Evans family make a rent payment.
