A kidney for Stanley

Hello All:

Some of you may know that my husband, Stanley was recently diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease caused by IGA Neprophathy. At this time, he has lost 85% of his kidney function and has less than a year left before he will need a new kidney. His doctors are estimating approximately 6 months before he will need dialysis. What many don't know is that aside from his kidney failure, Stanley has also been suffering from debilitating headaches that have left his team of doctors at Tufts Medical Center in a state of confusion. They are seriously considering discharging Stanley from the hospital with heavy medication which will leave him in a dysfunctional state while he waits for a kidney transplant.

We are hoping to raise money to help during the next several months where he will be unable to work and/or attend school and also for expenses that may arise if he should have the opportunity to be seen at a larger veteran-friendly hospital such as Walter Reed in Bethesda,  MD.

We are also aggressively looking for a donor for Stanley. If you don't know him,  please read his story. If you would like additional information on how to get tested to see if your a match for Stanley,  please click on the link below.
