Former College Basketball Player Needs Help Post-Transplant

Fred "Pop" Bennett, an NFT patient, received a lifesaving liver transplant in March. Although his health is improving, he still needs financial help and is reaching out to his community. This former NCCU basketball star is very involved in his hometown of Durham, NC, and he hopes his community will rally around him during this time.

A liver transplant costs approximately $500,000, and that's just the beginning. Even with health insurance, Fred is facing significant expenses for a lifetime of follow-up care and vital anti-rejection medications that he must take daily for the rest of his life.
