Help Antwanette Get Her New Kidney!
Antwanette Goodloe is in desperate need of a lifesaving kidney transplant, and she needs the help of her community to make it happen. Twenty-Five years ago, this energetic and youthful woman was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis, a debilitating disease that attacked Antwanette’s bones, lungs and kidneys while she was determined to complete her baccalaureate degree at Radford University. As a result, Antwanette is now facing end-stage-renal disease, as known as kidney failure and in order to survive she must receive a kidney transplant.
Prior to her diagnosis, Antwanette was very active as a ballet and modern dancer and instructor. She even had a school of artistic dance before the illness slowed her down. She also enjoyed exercising and swimming to help her stay fit. After completing her Bachelor of Science degree in college and starting a family, Antwanette assisted young people all over the country teaching what she loved — Dance. Unfortunately, Antwanette is no longer able to dance, nor can she plan or participate in all the family activities due to the restraints of having Lupus and end-stage-renal-disease. What she misses most is taking family trips, and keeping up with the demands of having a young active family. Antwanette is now completely dependent on dialysis, which she undergoes every single day from 4:00 p.m. for up to 10 hours a night, leaving her unable to do much else. Antwanette’s only chance to return to good health and an active family is a lifesaving kidney transplant.

Well Antwanette's daughter is going to go ahead and complete her evaluations to be her donor. So now she really needs your financial donations to cover her expenses while she's temporarily housed in PA during the transplant. No amount is too small and your gift is tax deductible.
