Adam Klemanski

Adam has had diabetes since he was 12 years old.

His kidneys were spilling protein into his urine and he was able to maintain function and keep a close eye on his condition until around 2014. Adam’s kidney function continued to decline, and he started dialysis in February of 2017 in Georgetown, DE. Right after starting dialysis, Adam started the process to be listed for a transplant and what a journey it has been for Adam.

Adam needs a kidney and a pancreas transplant and is getting closer each day. Adam has also managed to lose over 175 pounds since starting dialysis, which he knows will increase his chances of a successful surgery and for his new kidney and pancreas to work their best. Adam is an advocate for kidney patients and also is a volunteer with the National Kidney Foundation and the Southern Delaware Kidney Walk.

Family and friends of Adam are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses like anti-rejection medicines, travel and temporary relocation post-transplant.

Adam has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
