I don’t think I’m alone in saying that 2020 was a tough year for everyone and we all looked forward to it being over. Now starting fresh in 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney disease on January 12th. A person with end-stage renal disease has a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 15 ml/min or less. I have a GRF of 8 ml/min, losing nearly all their function. At this point the options are dialysis and a transplant.
Regular dialysis can keep me alive, but long-term dialysis is hard on my body and other organs. A transplant could give me a longer, healthier, more normal life I would love.
But the reality is that getting a kidney donor is not easy. About 100,000 are in line on the waitlist for a deceased kidney donor. The average wait time is five years.
This diagnosis and news crushed me. No one expects they’ll need a transplant in their own lifetime. We all assume we’re invincible but slowly lose that mindset understanding recovery from an injury can be prolonged.
Family and friends of Hunter Hallmark are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.
Hunter has chosen 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.
