Dave Sumpter

Help Dave receive a new kidney! In a few words, Dave needs a kidney transplant and we need your help to make it happen.

Family and friends of Dave Sumpter have established this fundraising campaign in Dave’s honor to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with his kidney transplant.

Dave was officially diagnosed with end-stage renal failure in May 2014 and started dialysis immediately. After almost 6 years of 3-4 days a week on dialysis, he was recently blessed with approval to the Kidney Transplant List at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. While the journey has felt like a roller-coaster ride for all of us, with the approval from the Mayo Hospital it introduces the high possibility of him attaining a kidney transplant quickly. In the words of his surgeon “be ready to receive the call any day and no longer than 6 months.”

This is thrilling news, yet kidney transplants are expensive. The transplant will require a 2-month recovery stay near the hospital in Phoenix, 700+ miles away from home. To make the kidney transplant a reality he will need to raise $13,000 to cover vital medical bills, anti-rejection medication, travel, and temporary relocation expenses.

We have chosen to partner with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised. All donations are managed entirely by the nonprofit, and funds raised will be used to cover medical costs via Help Hope Live’s Southwest Transplant Fund. 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.

Please know that any contribution helps. On behalf of Dave, we thank you in advance for your kind considerations.

Dave (and Crystal, Mariah, and Amihra) Sumpter, Monica A(sister), Kyle J(nephew) and many friends and family.
