Wesley Mitchell, a loving husband to Toni, father to six children and grandfather to one grandson, and 3 granddaughters in need of a kidney transplant and needs the help of his community to make it happen.

Wesley was raised in Waverly, OH and graduated from Huntington High School in 1977. He has been disabled since 1998 due to chronic heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and now kidney failure. Wesley’s doctors have told him that a kidney transplant is his best hope for a long and healthy life.

Transplants are lifesaving but financially draining. Even with the help of insurance, Wesley is facing very high expenses. Some of these expenses include pre-transplant evaluation and testing (including all of the trips to the doctor, treatment and tests), potential relocation to St. Louis, and the costly mediations Wesley will have to take for the rest of his life.
