We are hoping that 2018 is the year to get Dave off the machine. He goes to dialysis three times a week for about 4 hours, then comes home to rest. He started dialysis in 2014 and through all this, still remains with a happy positive attitude. Right now, there are no complications but that is what we are concerned about.
To help spread the word about him, our family and friends have stickers on their cars and we are having a Quarter Auction FUNdraiser March 11 at The Liberal Club. See the information link on this page and or contact me anytime. Serena

The appointment at Rhode Island went well. We have the 2nd appointment on October 10th. We also confirmed that you can be registered at two hospital's kidney donor departments in the same region! Being registered at Rhode Island Hospital will be very convenient for anyone interested in learning more about kidney donating to Dave.

Tomorrow we are so excited because Dave and I have an appointment at Rhode Island Hospital so they will be able to take inquiries from possible donors. Testing can be done in Rhode Island as well <3
Currently working on the Wrestling fundraiser that is on September 30th. Obtaining gift certificates and baskets. Lisa has been doing a great job contacting companies that you can only apply online.

2017 is going to be Dave's year I can feel it There is going to be a lot of love all around him
I am planning several FUNdraisers this year for him. I'm hoping for one on April 2nd, one is definite for June 17th just waiting to confirm the location. Then maybe 1 in the summer and then another maybe in October. These will help put funds into his account to have for his kidney donor operation
Funds raised to date have helped pay off his medical expenses and we are so lucky to have support of our family and friends to help relieve this stress
Thank you !

We are so happy for all of the help and love that has been shared with us. Dave is feeling pretty good after his scare in January, his doctor wants him to stay active so we are starting to bike ride. Seems like a new found hobby for us!
This summer, I have been putting stickers on cars that show the person is looking for a kidney donor for Dave Soares with my phone number. The more the merrier, so if you would like one, let me know.
Looking to start picking and planning the next FUNdraiser for the fall, its going to a fun one!
Looking for a donor for Dave,
his wifey,Serena

Thank you to everyone who came to Dave's Pasta Dinner & raffle fundraiser!. We had a room that was full of love and great raffles! We had so much fun. Balascos pizza in warren did an incredible job cooking the Pasta and meatballs. We had surprise cooks our friends at Michaels Restaurant. David Kadisevskis And Paula Araujo. The sauce was sooo good. I cannot thank Market street pub enough. Everyone is so supportive and helpful from day 1. Thank you. We hope each day that someone decides to call Mass General to ask what it takes to donate a kidney to Dave.
I want to send a special thank you to my project manager Lisa Verrette She helped me plan each day. We love you all! Serena.

Dave went to visit the surgeon yesterday, the dialysis center thought he had a blood clot again in his shoulder. Thank goodness it wasn't one. He had one last month he had one removed out his shoulder which was very painful. It was caused from the dialysis in his arm. We love you honey, I am so sorry that you have to do this. We are hoping to find a donor to help stop things like this. With a person donating directly to him, it will increase the chances of it lasting for year and years. This benefit will be so helpful because it will help him with the medical expenses and medicine copays that he will incur for the rest of his life. THANK YOU all for helping us with the FUNraisers !

Dave is so happy since we launched the account with HelpHOPELive, facebook page and set up the date for his first FUNdraiser!
He hopes to be able to raise awareness to what has happened and hopefully someone will be able to donate a kidney soon, he's been on dialysis since August and even through the different struggles he has had with it, he tries so hard to be positive!
