Dominique Cervantes

Dear Friends and Family,

We are reaching out to you because Dominique needs a kidney transplant and needs your support to get it.

As many of you know, Dominique is a compassionate young woman, who is always taking care of others even though she struggles daily with chronic kidney disease. She has been fortunate in avoiding dialysis so far but her kidney function is still deteriorating and she is now facing end stage renal disease. Her best chance at a long and healthy life is to receive a kidney transplant.

Dominique is determined to continue to live her life to the fullest while waiting for a transplant. Her determination and fight for normalcy in her life are incredibly admirable and encouraging. She continues to work as a Licensed Vocational Nurse while also pursuing her Registered Nursing license. She is also an amazing mother to two year old Alex and devoted wife to Jose.

Dominique is currently on the kidney transplant list at Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Temple, TX the very same hospital where she is employed. Even though her insurance will cover most of the procedure, we anticipate substantial out-of-pocket costs such as co-payments for multiple doctors appointments, lifelong immunosuppressant medications, travel to and from the hospital, and relocation at the time of transplant.

To help offset her uninsured costs, a fundraising campaign in Dominique’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All contributions are tax-deductible, are held in the South-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution.

It’s never easy to ask for assistance, but funding Dominique’s transplant is a difficult challenge and we need your help. Your financial gifts and prayers will be greatly appreciated.

With sincere gratitude,

Daniel O’Leary Jose Cervantes
