Family and friends of Xuan Tran are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with renal (kidney) transplantation.
Xuan was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, a systemic autoimmune disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs, in 2001. She had to resign from her work to look after her health. She always has an optimistic attitude and always tried to look happy and strong and not be a burden to her family. Xuan spent her time raising her daughter and volunteering at her daughter’s elementary school until 2006. Her health took a turn for the worst and her kidneys went into renal failure. She had to start dialysis treatments in order to maintain her life.

It has been 2 months since the kidney transplant. The incision is healing nicely according to the Dr. There is still some fluid leaking from the incision but Dr. said it is normal while healing. I can now drive on my own to the hospital twice a week to see the Dr. and do bloodwork. Labs have been great so far! Anti-rejection medications are doing their job by keeping my body from rejecting the new kidney. Some nausea/vomiting/diarrhea from the medication every now and then but overall I think I am doing GREAT! Next step is trying to be more active and get in some kind of exercise.

Xuan received a kidney from a donor on December 1, 2019. Her recovery is going well with a few initial problems from the surgery. After one month following the surgery, her body has stabilized and is getting used to the new kidney.
