Most of you that know me are aware that I am a type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed at the early age of 6; now I am 27 and have many medical issues due to diabetes. A few years ago I lost my vision because of the disease, but by the grace of God I was able to regain it shortly after. Recently, I was diagnosed with end stage renal disease, meaning my kidneys are no longer functioning. As a result, I am now on dialysis which is doing the work to filter my blood of toxins that my kidneys can no longer do. It is keeping me alive. My doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL have told me that a kidney and pancreas transplant is my best hope at a long and healthy life.

Transplants are life-saving, but extremely expensive. Even with insurance, I will be responsible for many out-of-pocket costs, including travel, co-pays, deductibles, lab fees, and the anti-rejection medications I will have to take for the rest of my life. I cannot do this without your help.

To help cover these expenses, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with Help Hope Live, 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 to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Southeast Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

Please help me on this journey to living better and healthier! I appreciate your generosity and support.

God Bless!

Sincerely,

Cynthia Morales
