In April of this year, I was finally able to have my cataract surgery and am now able to see very well. Praise and glory to God! Due to the diabetes in 2018, I was diagnosed with stage 4 renal failure. In 2019 I started my dialysis doing nightly treatments at home. Shortly after I began my journey of completing all the necessary requirements to be added on the kidney/pancreas transplant list, some of which include several tests, shots, exams with specialists, as well as any necessary dental work, and fundraising. One of the requirements is to have a certain amount of funds set aside for after the transplant that will cover any costs not covered by insurance as well as any unforeseen expenses. I am halfway there and am needing to raise $5000 to complete all requirements and be added to the list. To be able to have this transplant would be a new lease on life. I have always been a hard-working individual who had only relied on myself. I have worked 15+ years in the oil field. This experience has definitely humbled me as I am not used to asking for help. However here I am and am asking now, if you can donate any amount at all. Big or small, it all counts towards the goal. I pray for a second chance at life. Can you please help me? Any donations would be greatly appreciated. If you are not able to donate, please help me by sharing my story. Thank you and God bless!
