My name is Johnnie Williams and I am currently a dialysis patient who is in need of a kidney transplant. I am a 58-year-old single mother to 3 children who gave me 6 grandchildren. With the power of prayer, I received the best blessing of all, to hear my oldest son was a match and will be able to be my living donor. I was required to make a down payment of $6,000 which is difficult for me since I’m required to attend treatment 3 times a week for an average of 4-4.5 hours which leaves me extremely weak. I first found out my kidney issue while pregnant with my youngest child when I was 27. Doctors advised me to abort my only baby girl because they felt that both of our lives would be in danger during childbirth. Against better judgement, I chose my faith instead and decided to take a chance. A year and a half ago I was informed that my kidneys weren’t performing properly and that I would need to change my lifestyle of being free and independent to being bound to a machine that helps filter my kidneys of dangerous toxins that could potentially end my life.
Although I have insurance, most transplant related expenses are not covered. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will help give me the opportunity to watch my kids and grandkids grow old and enjoy life.
Thank you in advance for your support and God bless.
