As many of you already know, several years ago I was diagnosed with end stage renal disease. For the past two years I have been on dialysis three days per week, four hours a day. This is keeping me alive. Though I am doing fairly well on this treatment, I am still unable to work. My doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville have told me that my only real chance at a long and healthy life is to receive a kidney transplant as soon as possible.
Due to the extraordinary expenses of transplantation, as well as my inability to work, funding this life-saving operation is a monumental task. Despite having Medicare, many of my medical needs are not covered and must be paid out-of-pocket. Some of these expenses are co-pays, deductibles, travel to and from the hospital, relocation at the time of transplant and I will be on a lifetime of anti-rejection medications. This presents a challenge I cannot meet alone and your help is desperately needed.
In order to ease the financial burden, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with HelpHOPELive (formerly NTAF), a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for nearly 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southeast Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. You can help make a difference in my life. Please consider making a contribution.I would like to thank each of you for your heartfelt kindness, support, and prayers.

Dear Friends, Family,
I am writing to give you an update on my incredible new health condition.
On October 28th I received my new life which means my new kidney. First of all I would like to thank God and next all of my friends, family and donors that help to make it all possible. It is the dawning of a new day of life for me, that God has given me a second chance at life with the help of all of you.
Thank all of you so much however, the financial struggles still seem to confront me, with medical cost and medications that will continue for the rest of my life.
