Funding this procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by Medicare or insurance: co-pays and deductibles, medications (such as anti-rejection medications that she will be required to take for the rest of her life), lab fees and clinic visits are just a few of the expenses that my wife will encounter. The anti-rejection drugs alone are over $5,000 per month! Ruth’s travel expenses and the cost of travel and lodging for the donor are adding up to more than our family can handle alone.

Ruth is an RN and has been providing loving medical care to others throughout her entire adult life. After many years of helping others, Ruth is now the one who needs our help. She is currently undergoing evaluation for kidney transplant and is aggressively looking for a donor. I have volunteered to donate but was not a match, so she is actively looking for volunteers.

Thanks for your love and support. We are very appreciative and humbly grateful for everything.

Blessings,

Chuck Treadway (Ruth’s husband)
