Dudley Needs Our Help
Dudley Edmondson, a friend to so many people, has kidney failure and is now in need of a kidney transplant. About ten years ago Dudley was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a debilitating disease that attacks the kidneys. Transplants are life saving but very expensive and Dudley needs help from his family, friends and community to make it happen.

Hello EveryoneAs you know my transplant 8 years ago was successful. I've been very pleased with the way I have been able to continue my active life and participate in the lives of family and friends.Recently however my transplanted kidney developed cancer in the form of 3 tumors in various areas of the kidney. I was given options for treatment. I chose something called an ablation procedure. In that surgery they freeze the cancer tumor which kills it with ice on contact. I am in recovery at the moment but progress well with little pain.Thank you everyone for your donation over the years.They have been very helpful in allowing me to continue living my life without costly medical bills. I can't thank you enough for your generosity.Dudley

Well as some of you may know I've had my surgery, and doing well in my recovery. For the first time in years I feel almost normal if there is such a thing. Because I was pretty healthy to start and got a living kidney donation from a dear friend, my recovery has been exceptional.
Just the same it has not been easy. Numerous follow up appointments,testing, taking hundreds (100's) of pills of prescription medications a month are my new normal.
I know I still have a ways to go and 2017 will be the real test for our medical finances. With the operation and testing we maxed out our medical and have seen no medical bills for months now.
2017 we will be relying heavily on the help hope live funds, medicare and our insurance plan because those bills will be coming again. Because of your generosity I feel pretty good about the coming years and just want to thank you for coming to our aid in our time of need
Happy New Year

Dudley, I met you at The Many Faces of Conservation held at the Black Swamp Bird observatory in the Toledo Metroparks, September 26. 2009. I was just beginning many phases of outdoor adventures at that time, and I continue to do so these subsequent years. You encouraged me at that time, and now I want to encourage you at this stage with a donation and prayers for you and Nancy as you take this journey for better health. Love and Prayers.
