Funeral Expenses After West Nile

Donation protected
Charles Korstjens JR. (daddy, papa, husband, son and so much more)! I am setting this up for my dad. He suffers from Alports Syndrome which attacks the kidneys as well as his hearing and vision. He is almost deaf along with needing another kidney transplant. He is a very hard working individual and continued to work until he couldn't any more. His last day of work was 8/23/17.

At the age of 36 he went into total renal failure in 1999.  In March of 1999 he began dialysis and was put through all necessary testing to be put on the Transplant list. July 12th, 1999 he was put on the list and blessed just 16 days later with a perfect match kidney.

Fast forward 17 years and we are in the same situation. I won't put his entire life story but he has been through the ringer and back with medical issues. Our family has continued to experience medical issue after medical issue. 

He began dialysis 3 times a week. August 2nd, 2016 he was placed on the Transplant list again. We are raising this money to help with copays and some of the other expenses that come along with this long journey we are just beginning. We greatly appreciate any donation.

He now has West Nile and is in the fight of his life to live! Please see the latest update for new info!
