For those of you who don’t know who I am, I am Marcus Darby, a basketball coach and father. I live a life of servitude to those who I love and who loves me. My health has taken its toll on me as I have been diagnosed with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease. This disease is described as the gradual loss of kidney function (reaches an advanced state) your kidneys no longer work as they should to meet your body's needs.

Due to financial hardships I am ineligible to be placed on the the kidney transplant list. I have to raise at cover the cost of medication. Before I can be considered.

I am currently undergoing daily dialysis to remove the waste from my body that would otherwise be removed by my kidneys. I am asking for your help in this fight for my life.

With the upmost sincerity and gratitude,

Marcus Darby
