I Need Your Help!

I have Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a debilitating disease that attacked my kidneys. Doctors have determined that a kidney transplant is my only hope for a long and healthy life. I need your help to make that happen.

I am a single mom to three beautiful teenagers, Joshua, Colton and Sarah. My kids are my greatest joy and I can’t imagine not being here to watch them mature into adulthood and have families of their own.

I have struggled with kidney problems ever since I was a child. I have always been a very independent and outgoing person, but my kidney disease forced me to go on Disability in 2009. Then, in August of 2015, my reality came to a halt when I was told that my kidneys had gotten so bad that I had to start dialysis. I chose to do home hemodialysis. Dialysis is a short term solution, but a transplant is what I truly need. Unfortunately, it’s very expensive to get a kidney transplant.

Funding this life saving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by insurance including high co-pays and lifelong anti-rejection medications. My hope is to find a live kidney donor and the money raised will also be able to help that person while they are out of work due to the surgery.

Your support is critical to the overall success of my health and to make sure that I get to meet my grandchildren someday. Please know that your contribution counts. On behalf of myself and my family, thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Gratefully,
Belinda Turman
