Dear Friends and Family,

While in high school Kurt worked at Burger King in Grafton. After graduating Kurt attended M.A.T.C. in Milwaukee and W.C.T.C. in Pewaukee for training in food preparation. He worked as a line cook at the Chancery in Mequon and part time at McDonalds. He lived in Mesa, Arizona for a few years before returning to Cedarburg. He was fortunate to get a job at Dimat but had to stop working in 2009 when his kidney function decreased.

Due to the extraordinary expense of transplantation, as well as Kurt’s inability to work, funding this life-saving operation is a monumental task. Despite having insurance, many of his medical needs are not covered and must be paid out-of-pocket. This presents a challenge Kurt cannot meet alone.

To help offset his uninsured costs, a fundraising campaign in Kurt’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive (formerly NTAF), a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for nearly 30 years. All contributions are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the North-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. You can help make a difference in Kurt’s life. Please consider making a contribution.Together we can make a difference by assisting Kurt during this difficult time. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

Best regards,

Kenneth Paul
