NOVEMBER 2017 – I’m Wendy Watkins Boggs and I have recently been diagnosed with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Due to a genetic flaw in my family tree, five out of seven siblings in my mother’s family have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and I have also inherited this condition. My kidneys have deteriorated to a point where my only treatment options are limited to either dialysis multiple times a week or a kidney transplant for survival.
I currently reside in Round Rock, Texas, but grew up in Killeen, and graduated from Ellison High School. (Go Eagles!!) Following my college graduation from Texas A&M University, I have worked as an academic advisor at multiple institutions of higher education and currently advise at The University of Texas at Austin. I love my job! I thoroughly enjoy inspired conversations and guiding college students toward the achievement of their educational goals.
Although transplants are life-saving; they are also financially draining. Even with insurance, anti-rejection medications can be costly and I will need them for the rest of my life. Given this information, I have been advised by the transplant center to set an initial fund-raising goal of $20,000.
Although I am typically fiercely independent, I find that I’m no longer in a position to be able to do this on my own; therefore, a fundraising campaign has been established in my honor with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization which allows tax-deductible donations allocated for confirmed medical expenses. Please consider making a contribution today.

Gratefully,

Wendy, you were a source of inspiration and assistance my four years at UT and now I hope your friends can provide the same to you. 2017 may not be the year for kidneys, but 2018 sure can be!

I hope your friends can make the financial end of this the least of your concerns as you move through this process. We all just want you to have the healthy kidney that will allow you to keep being the Wendy we know and love!
