Three years ago, I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure and was told that I in need a lifesaving kidney transplant. After fighting this disease for so many years, receiving a kidney transplant is my only chance of survival.

I was a pre-school teacher for 16 years, but could not continue to teach because of my health related issues. Currently, my life consists of going to church, walking my dog “Lucky” and going to dialysis. I really enjoy helping the people in my community and being a part of the growth of it. After I receive my transplant, I mostly look forward to living a regular life again, and helping others facing the same battles that I now face.

I am in the process of getting on the transplant list, but to start the process and get listed, I need to raise $3550. Ultimately, I will need $7000 total to get the transplant. I am on a fixed income, and am asking for your help in raising funds so I can get my kidney transplant and become an active member of the community again.
