Family and friends of Jennifer Kershner are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with her recent kidney transplant.
Hi, my name is Jen; I’m fundraising because, on 5/24/2022, I finally received my kidney transplant after ten years of being on dialysis. I was lucky to receive a perfect match, and my surgery was hugely successful. Recovery from a kidney transplant is very intense. My husband and I drive 4 hrs to Pittsburgh and spend a night in a hotel to be ready for my appointment the following day. Then go 4 hours back home after the meetings,. My checkups will be going on every week for several months to ensure all is well. We will need help with travel and hotel expenses because gas prices are incredibly high, as are rooms in Pittsburgh by the hospital. However, I believe God gave me a second chance for a reason and that all things are possible with God! I will now be able to see my grandson, Forrest and granddaughter, Freya grow up, then graduate high school and college.
This has been hard to share and ask for assistance, but my family needs it, and we will appreciate any help.
Love is a beautiful thing! And when you love, you don’t give up! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for your support.
God bless you all❤️

Jen is currently undergoing testing to be accepted to Lehigh Valley Transplant Center in Allentown to be put on their list.
Jen was told she is a great candidate for a transplant and should receive on in 6 to 12 months!!!
Friends and Family of Jennifer Kershner (Formerly Jennifer Clontz)
We are asking for your help.
As many of you already know, Jen is a vibrant 47 year old woman, who has been suffering with end-stage Renal Disease for the last 7 years. She is currently receiving dialysis three times a week and has been told that her only chance for a normal life is to undergo a kidney/pancreas transplant. Jen is on the waiting list at Hershey/Penn State Medical Center in Hershey, Pa, the list at UPMC Transplant Services in Pittsburgh Pa and undergoing testing to be put on the waiting list at Lehigh Valley Transplant Center.
Jen grew up in Montoursville, Pennsylvania and spent her entire life here with her family. She graduated from Montoursville Area High School in 1989. Jen currently had to stop working at her job, where she was employed for over 10 years, due to the physical limitations that her body is enduring.
Jen has 4 children, with the youngest being 17 years old. She also has one grandchild who is 3 years old. Jen married her true soul mate, Duke, in September 2016. Jen cannot wait to receive her transplant, so that she can participate more freely in family activities, and go on a long-awaited honeymoon to Hawaii with her husband Duke. Jen would also like to watch her youngest daughter graduate high school, then college, plus see her only grandchild grow up!
Funding this life saving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by health insurance. Jen will have many uninsured, transplant-related expenses such as: co-pays, deductibles, doctor visits and the costly immunosuppressant medications that she will need to take for the rest of her life. Jen will also have to stay local to the hospital for about a month, so there will be the cost of lodging while she recovers, as she is cared for daily by the hospitals transplant team. Jen has been told that she will need to raise $40,000 for these expenses --- this is a financial challenge that the family cannot meet alone.
We hope blessings are passed on to you and we thank you for your support and generosity during this difficult time.
Sincerely;
The Family of Jennifer Kershner
Jen received the call today that she was accepted onto the transplant list at UPMC Transplant Services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
