Help Dawn receive her kidney transplant.
In 1983 I was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and in 1990 I had my first kidney transplant which lasted for thirteen years. Due to the years of dialysis, which I started in1983, my blood vessels became damaged by previous fistulas and subclavian catheters, so I had to have a graft in my upper thigh for my dialysis treatment — the doctors told me I had no other areas in my body for an access. In December 2012 I had to have stent replacement too.
I am currently receiving hemodialysis three days a week while I await my second kidney transplant. I have been listed at Tampa General Hospital for a couple of years, but am on a “financial hold†due to the high cost of the immunosuppressant medications (anti-rejection drugs) that I will need to take for the rest of my life. These medications are needed after transplant to help keep my body from rejecting the newly transplanted organ.

Dawn, I have 2 of the quilts you made to raise money for your transplant. (I taught at Brookside.) I, myself, just had a transplant in 2022. I think of you each year when i put my fall and Christmas quilts out. How are you doing? ♡ Christi
