Mary's Kidney Transplant Fund!

Mary Morgan Has Found A Kidney! Please help fund the transplant! 

Isaiah 40:31 “…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

 Meet Mary Morgan, beautiful wife of Bill for 20 years, mom to sweet teenaged girls, Mackenzie (14) and Macy (13), and a friend and servant to a countless many. Mary needs a kidney transplant due to renal failure from polycystic kidney disease (PKD). A live donor has graciously offered her one of his kidneys, so all that stands between Mary and LIFE is the transplant!

Her story:
Mary was diagnosed while she was a student at the University of Georgia when she was just 20 years old. Her grandfather, father and brothers have, or had, this hereditary disease so it was not a complete shock to her. If you know Mary, then you know she is a fighter! She swam competitively as a child and continued to focus on her health while running and spinning until her body just wouldn’t keep the pace anymore. She is now on dialysis until the transplant can save her life. 

 PKD is more common than sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Down’s syndrome, and Huntington’s disease combined. With this said, treatment has come a long way lately. Mary has taken such great care of her body with appropriate exercise and diet for so many years that she was able to qualify for peritoneal dialysis. She literally plugs herself into a dialysis machine while she sleeps at night at home. This is the best case scenario for this mother of active teens.

 Like her father and brothers, Mary’s successful transplant will reverse most of her symptoms including very low energy levels, persistent nausea, leg cramps that prevent her from sleeping, anemia, UTIs, kidney stones, and high blood pressure, just to name a few. Mary desperately wants to regain strength so that she can be the mother she desires to be! Mary has been a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Orlando for over 10 yrs. and wants to return too leading Bible Studies, and serving her church. Without a transplant at this phase of her disease, Mary’s life expectancy is only 5 - 10 years with daily dialysis. 

 So, Mary is blessed with health insurance but it does not cover all the expenses transplant incurs.  The costs are high and she would greatly appreciate help covering the $10,000 deductible and co-pays. This will fund her through pre-transplant and transplant. (Post transplant anti-rejection meds are another story!)

No donation is too small; any donation amount is greatly appreciated! Many kind and generous people have offered to help Mary throughout the years. She is eternally grateful for each and every one of you! Please help Mary renew her strength and soar! Please donate now.
