Kidney patient needs your help!

Donation protected
Brian Thomas and his wife Garsy are facing a crisis. Brian is a 20-year diabetic, and despite taking care of himself and taking measures to maintain a healthy size, his kidneys are failing. Now that all of his tests are back, we know that he is going to need a kidney. Currently, he is on dialysis 3 times a week and cannot work. Without his full paycheck, things are tough. Won't you please help his family get through this difficult time?



According to Brian, on July 2 he noticed he was “feeling horrible, just horrible.” The next week, he was put on a medication to help with his nausea and dizziness. He was soon told that he was in the beginning stages of kidney failure due to diabetes. On July 17, he was admitted to Parkview Regional Medical Center in his home state of Indiana with an initial diagnosis of acute renal failure. In two weeks time, Brian’s and his family’s lives had changed. He is now receiving dialysis and waiting for the results of his kidney biopsy.
Meanwhile, the family is in dire financial straits while waiting for the paperwork to go through and disability insurance checks to start from Brian’s employer. This could take up to a month. They need your help now.

Please donate what you can to this wonderful family. Brian is the salt of the earth, a man who is devoted to his family and friends, and through social media has developed a lot more friends around the globe.

Note: Any funds in excess of what is needed will be donated to Bridge of Life (https://davitavillagetrust.org) or to the National Kidney Foundation (http://www.kidney.org).

(I am handling this campaign on behalf of the family and will see to it that they get every penny. Thank you for your kindness and compassion for the Thomas family!)
