Our mother, Avis Delphine Sophus is 60 years old and in end stage renal disease. Over 20 years ago, she was diagnosed with systemic autoimmune disease. Now, her kidneys are only functioning at 10 percent and she is dependent on dialysis to survive. Her doctors have told us that she is in desperate need of a life-saving kidney transplant. She has also been told that she possibly will need a liver transplant in years to come. This kidney transplant is her best chance but the cost of the transplant alone can be overwhelming.

Avis is an extraordinary woman who has spent her life caring for others. Avis birthed three kids but cared for so many, from adopted nieces and grandchildren to children of no kin. For almost 40 years, Avis worked as a nurse in many capacities, giving of herself in order to aid others. It wasn’t until she became ill, ending up in the hospital and on dialysis, that her care for others ceased. Avis would like to renew her duties as a nurse, a mother, and a grandmother. A transplant will not only reclaim her life but also salvage the lives of others.
