October 2008: Laura Kennedy, original bass player for the legendary
1980s band the Bush Tetras, needs a liver transplant. She has lived
with Hepatitis C for 25 years, and the disease is now causing her
liver to fail. She is currently on a transplant list but is looking
for a live liver donor (with Type O blood) as a more immediate
option. Tragically, 20% of all people on liver transplant lists die
while waiting for an organ.

She has been unable to work since June 2008, and is now living on
disability in Minneapolis. Without the needed transplant, she may
live only another 8 to 12 months. This past summer, she has been
hospitalized 4 times due to complications from the disease and needs
your help!

Laura and her friends, including the Bush Tetras, are trying to raise
money to help support Laura and her potential donor’s living expenses
in the post-surgical recovery period, expenses not covered by her
disability insurance. Please consider making a financial donation to
help Laura in this difficult and crucial time.

Any contribution at all is appreciated. (Please note that
contributions are not tax-deductible.)
