Help Patsy Get a New Kidney!

Hello, my name is Patsy Dorsett and I am from Lavon, TX. I was born with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a horrible disease that attacked my kidneys and my life. When I was only nine days old I had my right kidney removed. PKD is a genetic disease which never skips a generation and for which there is no cure. Currently, I am on dialysis three days a week – four hours per day. My only chance at a healthy life is to have a kidney transplant and I need the help of my community to make this happen.

I have started the transplant evaluation process which is an arduous, oppressive and a difficult journey. It is also draining from a physical, spiritual and financial perspective. Even with insurance, I will have many uninsured transplant-related expense such as: co-pays and deductibles, doctor visits, travel to and from the transplant center and the costly anti-rejection medications that I will need to take for the rest of my life.
