Janet Carter Medical Fund

Donation protected
Early in 2017, Janet Carter learned she was in kidney failure and that she would have to have her kidney replaced.  Her son, Shawn Carter, is a match and a willing donor. Now the Ford/Carter family needs to raise $4,500 to meet their insurance deductible.   The ideal time for this surgery would be December of this year.  Please consider donating to this cause.

Message from Janet:
I am wanting to live without having to be hooked up to a machine cleaning my blood from impurities that my kidney won't do.  I am having such a hard time knowing my body is not working like it's supposed to.  I am 72 years old and my health has been good, but an illness went too long, and it caused me not to be able to hold food and water down.  I finally realized I needed help and decided on February 14th, this year, to go to the hospital for help.  I was there for 1 week and my Dr. Reid, my kidney doctor, let me know that your kidney can not function without water.  
I am the mother of four wonderful kids that became four great adults and I have four beautiful grandkids I truly adore.  I am also a great grandma, gg, five times.  My son wants to be my donor.  

My insurance is paying for most of the cost.  I must pay $4, 500.00 which when she said it, it sounds so impossible my heart fell and tears started.
