Nine years ago, 48-year-old Ray was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease. This turned his life upside down. He is completely dependent on dialysis, which he undergoes at home every single night. Sadly, he is unable to do many activities most would take for granted and his time spent with his wife, two sons, and daughter has been greatly limited. Ray’s only chance to return to good health is a kidney transplant.

Funding this life saving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by insurance: co-pays, anti-rejection medications, medical procedures and hospitalization add up to more than the Rodriquez family can handle alone.

To help with the financial burden of Ray’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, 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, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please, consider a contribution.

Keep an eye on this campaign page because we will be planning some fundraising events soon and posting updates regularly. Thank you for your prayers and generosity. Your support is critical to the overall success of Ray’s struggle. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of Ray and his family, we thank you in advance for your kindness and consideration.

Gratefully,

Margarita Rodriquez (Raymond’s wife)
