Freddie Needs Your Help!

Freddie Hale is a 50-year-old man who has lived with diabetes for the better part of almost 20 years. Over the generations, there has been a long family history of diabetes. However, 3 years ago Freddie’s world was turned upside down when his kidneys started failing; now they only function at 6%. The only reason he’s alive today, is because of his dialysis treatment three times a week.

Freddie grew up around Parma, Idaho, where his parents Fred and Trudy Hale still currently reside. Freddie has two grown children Zach 28 and Alex 25. Freddie has 2 amazing grandsons named Caiden 5 & Carsen 1. Freddie also has been in a long-term committed relationship with his fiancee’ Christa for 8 years and they live in Nampa, Idaho with her three children. He’s an incredible singer, he loves camping and fishing and he’ll be able to enjoy these favorite activities to the fullest with the help of a new kidney. More than that, Freddie is looking forward to lots of time with his grandchildren and to a future wedding with Christa!

Freddie continues to work at Lowe’s in Nampa, all the while he continues to go to dialysis 3 times a week. This wipes him out completely. Though he has insurance, it isn’t near enough to cover all the medical expenses pre- and post- surgery. The transplant alone runs in excess of $150,000 and that’s not including the anti-rejection pills that run more than $36,000 every year that Freddie will have to take the rest of his life! Here is where your help is desperately needed!

To help with the financial burden of Freddie’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Northwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

For credit card contributions, please click the yellow Donate Now button.

We would like to thank you for your prayers, support and generosity. With your help we can give Freddie a life free of dialysis and a bright future with his family and friends! Please keep an eye on this Help Hope Live campaign page because we will be planning some fundraising events soon and will be posting updates regularly!

With sincere gratitude,

Christa Hindman (Freddie’s love & best friend)

Today we met with part of the team from Swedish Hospital for a check up & just to go over everything yet again. The good news is that one of the Nephrologists we saw today let us know that Freddie may only have another year and a half to 2 years left to wait before Freddie will start getting calls with offers to accept or deny possible cadaver kidneys. Since he has almost already been waiting almost 3 years coming up.

Lastly, as of my last post we were pretty sure that Freddie was going to be relisted on the kidney donor waiting list because he had had significant improvement in his heart issues, they are currently working to have him keeping on working on it with medicine therapy but he has officially been GREEN lighted & relisted to the waiting list!!!

Next step: planning & arranging our spring/summer fundraiser for the transplant, I have arranged a band to perform for entertainment, now to secure a location for the fundraiser!!!!

So with Freddie's set back with his heart issues is hopefully on it's way out! Yeah! His Cardiologist increased some medicine that he was taking to help strengthen his heart & it seems to have worked!!!! So Freddie was under the possible risk of having to have a pace maker put in but hopefully now that can be avoided! With his last ultrasound the images showed improvement & so the Dr. Told us in his words that there was "significant improvement" so we have an upcoming appointment this Friday, so we will see where we can go from here & hopefully we will be told that he is going to get the green light and will be relisted for the transplant list! Fingers crossed!

So in addition to Freddie being a great boyfriend, father, the best handyman ever and needing a kidney he is an incredibly talented singer! Here is a video of him singing in our garage!

Update for May:

Freddie had to have his annual heart workup for the kidney transplant team, & they found a little something they want to check further, so at the beginning of June he will be having an angiogram to check out his heart with a little closer look. So until he gets that done & gets the "all clear" his status on the kidney transplant waiting list has been put on hold which is a little set back. So any prayers sent Freddie's way are greatly appreciated!

Freddie has a potential donor! A friend from his work named John wants to donate! Hopefully he will be a great candidate! And if he is, even if John isn't a complete match for Freddie, but can donate, just by him donating on Freddie's behalf, will get Freddie his new kidney that he so desperately needs! The exact same day even! The transplant coordinators set it all up so it works out that way! So please keep Freddie in your prayers & especially his friend John & his family. We really need to get going on working on fundraising, some of the money we will help to raise here can be used to help our donor's family while they are out of work. That's the least we can do to help them for giving this life saving gift!
