My name is Bernadine Speight I have end stage renal disease, I was first diagnosed in 2011 with diabetes and high blood pressure. Since then my health has declined. I Pray every day the Lord will Bless me with a kidney real soon. I have my Family, Church family and friends all praying for me. I have a positive attitude and lifestyle which I’ve tried to maintain through this critical battle I’m facing daily. I’m on Dialysis three times a week, it takes a lot out of me, but I pray to stay strong.
I’m a resident of Durham North Carolina and I’m on the transplant list in Richmond, Virginia. I have insurance but some of my expenses are not covered. Some of the current and future expenses include, medication, travel, lodging, and most important, the anti-rejection medication I will receive after the transplant is something I will need to keep my kidney functioning properly for the rest of my life. These expenses are only partially covered or not covered at all. And I will need to stay in Virginia after the surgery for at least 3- 4 weeks and will need a home health care aid. There are many transplant expenses that are not covered by my insurance. I need your help.
I am asking my Family and Friends to join me in fundraising for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to help with critical expenses to ease the financial burden of a transplant and allow me to focus on a healthy recovery and long life ahead with my family and friends.
I chose to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
