Medical Expenses for a Kidney Transplant

Hi, my name is Anthony and I come to you for help. I'm usually the one helping and donating so this is particularly difficult for me but due to the circumstances, I'm left with no choice. Thank you for bearing with me as I explain.

I'm a 43-year-old single homeschooling dad with full custody of my five amazing kids, Maria, John Marie, Anthony, Gianna and John Paul. This past year has brought me through the wringer. I've suffered through two heart attacks and multiple hospital stays and surgeries. Due to my worsening health issues, Doctors would not let me return to work fearful of the impact it would have on my weakened heart. Just yesterday at a routine check-up, my nephrologist, Dr. Emad Sedki, sprung on me that my kidneys are now in Stage four renal failure and I need a transplant. This will mean a possible five-year wait for a donor kidney and many costly treatments and medicines to ensure I survive until then. That is why I come to you for help.

I know you all have expenses and things you are suffering through in your own lives, and forgive me for asking for help, but this is more for my kids than for me. They need me. They deserve to have me around. I'm all they have. The funds will be used to pay for all the medical and daily expenses I'm incurring with the treatments and being unable to work.

If you can find it in your heart to help in this, my most desperate hour, I cannot express how much that means to my little family. Regardless of financial help, I do ask for your prayers.

God Bless and Thank you.
