Help with Jessica's Kidney Funds

Donation protected
Hi. I'm Jessica. I'm 27 years old and I have ESRD (end stage renal disease) also known as Kidney disease. I found this out at age 22 when I was 13 weeks pregnant with my son. My dr had suggested I abort my unborn child for my health. Once I saw my ultrasound and saw his legs kick I said there was no way I have to fight for my child. When I was 30 weeks I was admitted into the hospital until my son was born. 4 days later I was told i needed to give birth because my organs were shutting down. I was so scared. Knowing my child wasnt fully developed. 2 days of being in labor my dr came in and said I had to have an emergency C-Section. Nov 29th 2011 I gave birth to a 2lb 12oz baby boy. He was in NICU for 30 days. I got to bring him home Dec 28th 2011. As time went on my kidneys started to get worse. My dr said I needed to start dialysis. I had surgery to get a PD cath placed. well it takes 2 weeks to heal. My body wasnt trying to wait 2 weeks. I got extremly ill to where my mother called my dr and got me an appt right away. My dr looked at me and said "if you dont start hemo dialysis tomorrow you will not make it through the weekend" (this was a wednesday) I sat in her office crying for an hour cause I did not want a tube placed in my neck. I looked at my son and said I gotta fight. The next day I started hemo dialysis. I FELT SO MUCH BETTER. :) I was on hemo dialysis for a few months. FInally was able to use my PD cath. I've been on home dialysis since then, Here recently things have gotten worse. I'm on a search for a kidney! I've been on the transplant for 2 years now. I've created a facebook page to help me find a donor. I've done an interview with NBC 12 news which also aired of FOX news. I NEED A KIDNEY to save my life. I'm making this gofund me to rasie money for transportation to and from my dr appts (cause I have so many) and even after my transplant I will have even more. Also for my medications. My insurance will only cover but so much. Plus I still have to take care of my son. ANY little thing will help. I've gotten so much support over the past few days its seriously a blessing. I thank any and everyone who donates to help me and my son out! It means the world to me. Thank you again!!!!
