Chris Molnar Fund
Christopher Molnar
is a 19-year-old member of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Kendall
Park. Chris graduated in June 2012 from South Brunswick High School and
entered into basic training for the United States Marine Corps in
August. After graduating as a Private First Class on November 16th, he
returned home to Kendall Park for a 10 day leave of absence before
beginning Marine Combat Training. On November 25th Christopher
suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital where it was
discovered that he had a fatally enlarged heart and was in heart
failure. The diagnosis was grim. He needed immediate surgery to
implant a Ventricular Assist Device to
keep him alive while he waited for a heart transplant. On April
9, Chris underwent a successful heart transplant. After 15 days
he returned home and is adjusting to life with a transplanted heart,
and the testing and medication that he will continue to need for some
time.
A
recent article written by Harry Frezza and published by
myCentralJersey.com, a Gannett Company, tells Chris's story.
Christ the King Lutheran Church has established "The Christopher Molnar
Fund" to allow family and friends of the Molnars to contribute
financial support to help offset the various costs incurred by the
family as a result of Christopher's ongoing medical
treatment. All amounts donated to The Christopher Molnar fund
will be kept completely confidential; no one need feel that their
particular gift is too big or too small. Once a month, the Molnars will
receive a list of donor names along with a check from Christ the King
for the sum of all the donations received that month. Spending of
all gift money will be at the complete discretion of the Molnar family,
and Christopher has requested that his parents manage the spending of
these gifts. 100% of the money donated to "The Christopher Molnar Fund"
will go to the Molnar family, and the fund will remain active as long
as Christopher is receiving treatment or until the Molnars wish the
fund to be closed.
Donations to "The Christopher Molnar Fund" can be made payable to
"Christ the King" with "The Christopher Molnar Fund" on the memo line.
These gifts, which are being given to benefit a particular individual
and family, are PROHIBITED by IRS Tax laws from being tax
deductible. Therefore, Christ the King will NOT be issuing
statements to individual donors. Donations may be mailed to Christ the
King at 3330 Route 27, Kendall Park, NJ 08824.
