Joined at the kidney for life!

Donation protected
My godfather, beloved Uncle D (Destin ), encountered an unfortunate chain of events last June.  After catching pneumonia and being hospitalized, the doctors found that Uncle D had complete kidney failure, and they diagnosed him with End Stage Renal Disease.  For the next 9 months, Uncle D valiantly labored through dialysis treatments 3 days a week for 4 hours each treatment.  End Stage Renal Disease made him very tired, forcing him to sleep often, and didn't allow him to work full-time.  

Once Uncle D entered the Transplant Program at University Hospital, he was informed that without a living donor he would have to be placed on the kidney donor list which could take up to 4 years to receive a transplant.  Uncle D contacted many friends and family members attempting to find a donor match.  By the grace of God, Uncle D was abe to find a donor match in the love of his life, girlfriend Mandi Merz .  After months of testing for both, Mandi and Uncle D were finally scheduled for the transplant to take place on February 15.  Thankfully, the transplant was a success!

During the next several months, Uncle D and Mandi will be at home recovering and unable to work.  Can you please assist Uncle D and Mandi with living expenses and medical bills during this time?  God bless!

I love Uncle D!!
