Peggy Jaquis was diagnosed with a severe case of Crohn’s disease at the young age of 22. Over the years, Peggy experienced many complications, leading to numerous struggles and surgeries. She tried everything to keep her symptoms under control, and at one point thought she was getting better. But in 2012, an aneurism was discovered behind Peggy’s eye, leading to aggressive surgery and an attempt to save her eyesight. Due to complications, Peggy received multiple blood transfusions, and she developed a condition known as fibrillary glomerulopathy, or kidney damage. Peggy soon found out that both of her kidneys were starting to shut down, and after many medications and failed attempts to save them, Peggy went into end-stage-renal disease. She has courageously undergone life-sustaining dialysis treatments ever since, but doctors have now told her that without a lifesaving kidney transplant, her time will soon run out.

Peggy’s supportive and long-time husband, Greg is committed to seeing his wife through her transplant surgery. Peggy now does home-based dialysis, and Greg even took courses to enable Peggy to undergo home dialysis. Prior to becoming ill, Peggy and Greg enjoyed traveling to see family and friends, and spending time with their children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, since relying on dialysis and feeling ill, Peggy is unable to travel. She relies on her strong faith in prayer and God to help see her through her difficult days, and more than ever she is looking forward to resuming her once active life. The loving mother of four children, eleven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, Peggy is blessed to have a second chance at life!

Update on mom. She may be able to get out of the hospital this Friday 6-10-16 so we are praising the Lord for his continued blessings. We had a scare last week but everything has worked out for the good. We appreciate all of the prayers and the donations that everyone has given. We are still on a long road with the out of pocket expenses that they are facing. We are planning some fund raises this summer so be on the look out for more information with time and place. Again we thank you for all that you are doing for my mom.

Hello Everyone. Today my mom and dad celebrate 52 years of marriage. Time flies. I am asking you to take a moment and think about donating to my mom to receive a kidney. The call could come any time saying they have one available to her and we want to make sure that everything is in line. Please share this post on all your social media that you belong to. My mom is a very caring and loving mom and she still has many years to be able to share with others.

Please consider donating but if you can't please keep her and my dad in your prayers. God is in control and his will, will be done. Thank you for taking the time to say a prayer and read this update. Paula

Hello this is Peggys daughter, Paula and I wanted to update you on my mom's journey. Mom is a trooper along with my dad who works with her. They are working hard to ensure that she has everything in order when they get the call she has a kidney. I am asking you to consider helping my mom reach her goal. As the only daughter and 2nd child out of 4, I am not ready to loss my mom. Especially when it can be prevented. As you read this I pray God will move on your heart to donate to my mom.

I love my mom and I want to have many more years with her.
