Larissa Needs Our Help!
Larissa “Dee” Hudson is a wonderful mother and caring daughter. At just 40 years old, this Charlotte, NC resident is living with ESRD (end-stage renal disease), Kidney Cancer. She was diagnosed with membranous nephropathy in 1998, one year after giving birth to her son, Xavier, now 22yrs old.
Her illness has progressed to such a point that her only hope for survival is a kidney transplant. Larissa is one of the kindest, most giving people you’d ever hope to meet and she needs our help. The cost of a transplant can be overwhelming.
