There were signs of this illness in his childhood but he was never properly diagnosed. In severe cases, this illness can fester undetected until it causes end stage kidney failure 20 years after symptoms have first occurred, and unfortunately that is what seems to have happened to Martin. Until a living kidney donor can be found, he is on dialysis treatment 3 times a week for 4 hours.
Martin went to Indian Hills High School in Oakland, NJ and earned a Bachelor in Wood Technology from Pitts State University in Kansas. He currently lives in North Arlington, NJ and works as a Project Engineer. Martin is a hardworking, talented young man with much left to contribute to the world. We hope to soon find a suitable kidney donor so that he can continue on his path.
Martin is lucky to have medical insurance, but it does not cover all expenses; the uninsurable medical bills are already piling up and will likely continue to do so for the rest of his life. We are hoping to take away at least one of his many burdens in this difficult time and raise a substantial amount of money to cover any uninsurable bills, costs for transportation to and from the transplant center for both Martin and a living donor, anti-rejection medication post-transplant, and a long list of many other unavoidable and costly expenses.
To help offset such expenses, a fundraising campaign in Martins’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the MId-Atlantic Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. If you would like to make a contribution, please click the DONATE NOW bar.
If you donate from outside the U.S. through the DONATE NOW Button, you need to select “Canada” or “Outside the US” at the bottom of the “State menu”.
Your support is critical to the overall success of Martin’s Journey. Any and all contributions count. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
With sincere gratitude,
Maria Doering & the entire Doering family

Martin and Scott both made it through the surgery successfully. The doctors said Scott donated a very nice kidney. And it is already working!!!
We are incredibly relieved and thankful. We know the next couple of weeks are going to be rough especially for Martin but now it is all about healing. We continue to appreciate your donations, as the biggest bills are yet to come we really appreciate the help! Thank you.
Martin has one more dialysis treatment before the surgery. In the photo he and Scott are hanging out after a day of final tests. Scott is going to donate his left kidney for Martin. The kidney transplant surgery is scheduled for Wednesday September 28th in the morning.
Excellent news! Martin's brother-in-law Scott is a 5/6 match and he is traveling to NJ from Nova Scotia, Canada so that he can donate one of his kidneys to Martin on Wednesday, September 28th. We appreciate all the amazing support we have received from so many, the next week will be a challenge for Martin and Scott please wish them luck!

Hi Martin! I found your campaign through our mutual friend Alice W in SF. Coincidentally, I was just diagnosed with early stages igA Nephropathy a few days ago. I'm happy to hear you've received your transplant and the outlook is positive! I hope things get easier for you from here. I'll keep you in my thoughts. :)
