Marvin Hernandez, 36, was diagnosed with kidney failure on 2012. After four years of battling the disease and of being on dialysis, his best hope for long term health is a kidney transplant. However, the cost of a transplant can be overwhelming and we need your help.
Marvin is currently on peritoneal dialysis every day and yet he still manages to have the strength to run a strenuous full time landscaping business. He is the most selfless man you could meet and he always helps other before himself. Marvin grew up in El Salvador and moved to the United States in 1999 with his wife Karla. Together, they have four beautiful sons, ranging from 4-18 years old, who are all so kind and caring. Together, Marvin, Karla and their family are committed to seeing him through his kidney transplant.
Transplants are a lifesaving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Marvin faces very high expenses including co-pays, deductibles, monthly anti-rejection medications, and the cost of relocating near UCLA Hospital for several months post-transplant. All of this presents a challenge he cannot meet alone.
To help with these expenses, a fundraising campaign in Marvin’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 fullest extent of the law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Southwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

Your support is critical to the overall success of Marvin’s struggle. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of Marvin and his family, thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
