My Kidney transplant that I had in 2018 began to fail. As of July 2022, I am back to square one again and will need a new kidney. I must start the fundraising process over again. I am excited to share I have someone that is willing to get tested for me. I hope they are a match so I won't have to stay on dialysis much longer.
I appreciate any and all donations you can give. Every dollar counts and will go to my medical expenses. I will keep you all up-to-date and tell you if there is any kind of fundraisers happening.
Thank you for your support,
Laurie

Well was in the hospital for 6 days again.. Found out dialysis is really hurting 2 other organs, my colon and liver so therefor i am in desperate need for this kidney transplant. if i do not get one soon i could lose part of my colon and end up carrying two bags for the rest of my life and do not want to go through that...

Hey everyone. I was given this through Pinnacle Health due to the fact I cannot find a supplemental insurance. So I am going to try this out.. Anyone who would like to donate can do so either by pressing the donate button or mailing a check. Thanks and God Bless.
