For those of you that don’t know me personally, and for those of you who do, I want to thank you for taking an interest in my life and my journey to wellness. I am 28 years old, single, and have been graced with an incredible circle of love and support from both my family and friends. Those closest to me have witnessed my struggle from the age of 16 when I was diagnosed with Type I Juvenile Diabetes, my many battles with this disease, and my current diagnosis of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). My family sees me as courageous, strong, and optimistic as I have gone through the rigors of dialysis for the past two years. I see myself as I see others afflicted with the same challenges – hopeful, thankful, and excited to think I will have the chance to overcome these challenges and begin a new life.
A Southern California resident, I have been accepted into the Kidney/Pancreas program at the University of San Francisco Medical Center in Northern California. As a “restricted” medical patient, there will be an ongoing need throughout my lifetime for financial support to augment costs not covered by my insurance. Since I will be traveling to receive my transplant, the costs for pre and post-operative care, yearly follow-up, medical fees and medications far exceed my ability to absorb these costs. The anti-rejection medications alone will be approximately $5,200 – $5,800 per month. HelpHopeLive is a non-profit organization that will manage, audit, and assist in allocating any donations made on behalf of my medical needs. Further, they provide tax deductible forms and guidance for all benefactors providing fundraising support, services, and donated goods that legitimize the expense of the donor.
Your donation will help shape my future by allowing me to have one. Please know my gratitude is beyond measure, and I will care for this gift of life with reverence and purpose.
Thank you for your continued love and support!
