Those are the first words Princeton91裸聊视频檚 Christine Unrau said to her benefactor Gary Johal, who is willing to put up as much money as it takes so that Unrau can receive a double lung transplant, as soon as a matching donor is found.

Despite an earlier GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $25,000, it91裸聊视频檚 estimated the cost of post-operative care could easily exceed $40,000.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 going to be in this with you until the end,91裸聊视频� he told Unrau, after presenting her with a bouquet of flowers and a warm embrace.

The two met at Princeton91裸聊视频檚 Copper Pit Restaurant, Saturday, March 23.

91裸聊视频淚 will cover the cost, whatever it is. If it goes to $50,000 or $60,000, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 really matter.91裸聊视频�

Johal, a successful entrepreneur from Penticton, learned of Unrau91裸聊视频檚 plight through media reports, earlier this week

Following surgery, Unrau will need to live in Vancouver between three and six months, with her husband Arlen, who will be her required caregiver the entire time.

The costs, which are not covered by the province, were beyond the family91裸聊视频檚 reach. Unrau removed her name from the transplant registry in January, for that reason.

Johal was drawn into Unrau91裸聊视频檚 journey because of his father, he told Black Press.

The family patriarch spent six years on a waiting list for a kidney transplant.

91裸聊视频淚 know the pain and the stress and when I saw (her) name was taken off the list it broke my heart. It was devastating.91裸聊视频�

Johal91裸聊视频檚 dad eventually had successful transplant surgery.

Claiming good fortune, 91裸聊视频渨e were able to pay all the expenses,91裸聊视频� he said.

In turn: 91裸聊视频淚 feel this is my duty as a Canadian.91裸聊视频�

Johal immigrated in 1997, from India, and landed a job as a clerk at a Mac91裸聊视频檚 convenience store in Penticton.

Two years later he was the franchisee, and he and his family continued to build on that success. He now operates more than fifteen small businesses across the province, and exercises philanthropy regularly, along with his brother, supporting health care initiatives in several cities, as well as community events and festivals.

Unrau called Johal 91裸聊视频渁n angel on earth.91裸聊视频� She plans to give back in the only way she can right now, which is to promote the need for policy change that will mean 91裸聊视频渘o one will have to die because they don91裸聊视频檛 have money.91裸聊视频�

Unrau has been invited to visit Victoria and meet with Premier David Eby to discuss the issues, and she is partnered with the BC Rural Health Network, based out of Princeton,.

Executive director Paul Adams reported there are 450 transplant surgeries performed in Vancouver every year, but 150 of those patients come from outside the Fraser Valley.

The organization91裸聊视频檚 goal is to ensure that all B.C. residents have access to health care without a financial penalty.

91裸聊视频淒o you have enough money to be able to move to Vancouver in order to get surgery? That91裸聊视频檚 the inequity and it91裸聊视频檚 really egregious. It91裸聊视频檚 one of the most egregious inequities that rural residents face,91裸聊视频� he told the Spotlight in an earlier interview.91裸聊视频�

Unrau said she is normally a private person, and it91裸聊视频檚 difficult for her take a front-and-centre role in such a high profile issue.

91裸聊视频淏ut I91裸聊视频檓 gonna stir things up. I91裸聊视频檓 not going to be quiet.91裸聊视频�

To Johal, Adams said, 91裸聊视频淵ou are saving Chris91裸聊视频� life, and Chris is going to save many more lives.91裸聊视频�
