Nathan Gaisford

Nathan needs your support!

Nathan Gaisford is a wonderful husband and father to our two-year-old daughter, Avery. They love to wrestle and play hide and go seek together. He hopes she will follow in his footsteps and go to bible school someday.

Nathan recently found out from his doctors that he is in dire need for a second kidney transplant. Nathan was born with two abnormal kidneys. In November 1990, at the age of ten, Nathan had his first transplant. His mother’s kidney was a perfect match. That kidney lasted for 26 years, which we know is a miracle. However, Nathan now needs another kidney transplant to be in good health and lead his normal life.

Nathan has finished the evaluation process and is now on the transplant wait list and can start receiving kidney offers. But we are in search of a living donor as well. Nathan started dialysis three times a week in December due to his kidney function continuing to drop.Transplants are life-saving procedures, but funding for the transplant is a monumental task. There will be many medical costs not covered by insurance: co-pays, anti-rejection medications, relocation and travel expenses, which can easily become a huge financial burden for any family. This is where your help is desperately needed.

To help offset Nathan’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted non-profit 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 South-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

We are currently working hard on organizing fundraisers. Please follow Nathan’s progress and learn about upcoming fundraisers by continuing to visit his campaign page.

Our family is trusting God in the whole process. Whether his healing comes through a miracle or through transplantation, everything will be to the glory of God. On behalf of Nathan, myself and our families thank you for your ongoing prayers, support, love and generosity.
