Joshua Raymond is getting a new kidney from a live donor!

After decades of dealing with the effects of genetically transferred polycystic kidney disease (and watching his father’s suffering from the same illness). Joshua Raymond is getting a new kidney from a live donor! Josh believes God is responsible: His influence on medical science and amazing advances, providing a donor who is a close friend, timing that is perfect, and a family that is supportive. This has all been covered in prayers of petition and thankfulness!

This surgery restores the health of a husband of 23 years, a father of three, a loving son and brother, “the youth group Dad,” the Jesus-follower who never turns people away, the “pirate,” the servant, the jokester, the friend. However, since life tends to be not highs and lows, but twin rails of joy and struggle, there is a challenge; Josh will be out of work for several months. Therefore, we hope to raise $10,000 for medical expenses to lift the family’s burden.

Josh has chosen to use HelpHopeLive at helphopelive.org. This donation organization is tax deductible for donors and holds the recipient to a higher standard, requiring receipts for reimbursements rather than just releasing funds to the recipient. Josh wants to be as transparent in the process as possible, holding to godly fidelity.

Thank you for any help you give. The family is grateful for the blessings of you all!
