Vicky Needs Your Help
Vicky Corbett, a resident of Anderson, SC, has been awaiting a kidney transplant for nearly 10 years and needs our help. She was diagnosed with Sjogren’s, an autoimmune disease, in 2004 after the birth of her first child, and is now suffering End Stage Renal Disease from complications of Sjogren’s and Vasculitis. Finally, after nearly 2 years of being inactive on the National Transplant list, she has been put back to active status by her hospital transplant team.
Vicky is the mother of two teenage boys, Nolan and Braydon, and has managed to enthusiastically care for them even while enduring daily fatigue and exhaustion. She had also worked full-time during her entire ordeal up to the past several years. She worked in our local hospital and pharmacy as a Certified Lactation Educator, helping women establish a successful and loving nursing relationship with their babies. On top of all this, Vicky has volunteered at community events such as cancer awareness days, Special Olympics, and the hospital’s Teddy Bear Clinic. Vicky is such a positive influence on the community and rarely even complains about her symptoms.

Hi everyone! I've been doing well. My numbers are overall... great! I'm now going to Charleston once a week to stay overnight in a hotel. I get labs locally every 1-2x a week as well. My incision is healing nicely, but I'll be glad to get these staples out. Lol
I'll be sending cards out soon to those who left their address when donating. I appreciate everything from well wishes to donations. I'm in the process of getting my ducks together to submit all my expenses so far not covered by health insurance. Lots of receipts and documentation... but this is what I prefer, so you can be assured every penny goes to my transplant.
Much love...
