A Friend in Need

Now that this story has gone public, we feel comfortable posting this on our site.

Every day we hear stories of people in need. It’s not every day that that story belongs to someone you know and care about.

At the end of October 2012, we received a text our personal friend Shane Dehod had gotten the heart transplant call and was on his way to Vancouver. Shane had only been on the list for a short time and it was a huge surprise that the call was gotten so quickly.

Shane is a cancer survivor that, as it turns out, suffered severe heart damage due to the cancer treatment.   He is one of the most positive people you will ever meet. A great sense of humour and a wonderful outlook on life, even when he was in the hospital after a series of heat attacks. It makes a person very humble when they are in the room with Shane. We complain about life and all that it throws at us, problems at work, some debt that needs to be paid, a cranky boss, and here is a man that has beaten non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and bone cancer, gone on to have heart failure that required him to carry a pack that keeps his heart going while waiting on a list for a new organ. He listens to you smiling and offering advice, caring about his friends and family so much even in the face of all this. Lorin, his wife, is a wonderful woman who has supported him through it all and kept all of us up to date, even with the stress of the transplant. It is hard to write words to describe these two people and their outlook on everything they have been through. They amaze us and have inspired us to care less about our first world problems and pay attention to the things that matter.

Shane and Lorin are two of the things that matter. We were shocked to hear that the costs of all of the time that they have had to take not working, caring for two homes in different cities, and all of the travel was draining them of everything they had saved. It is something that those of us not in the situation never think about. These two bright lights were suffering and never asked for a thing.

The Prince George Citizen and CKPG TV recently ran stories about Shane and Lorin and all they have been through. There has been a fundraiser put together by Shane’s Rotary club to help as well as an account opened at the Integris Credit Union for contributions to be dropped off to. The story has been going through the Twitter machine.  After all that the Dehods have been through, the last thing they need is to have to worry about finances.

If you would like to make a contribution to Shane and Lorin, please go to any Integris branch, the account number is80346973. Contributions can also made through the CMO office at 835 Victoria Street and we will deposit the funds to the Dehod account, or you can also use the PayPal donation button below.

We would also encourage everyone to become an organ donor. You can register online here: https://transplant.bc.ca/OnlineReg/bcts.asp .
