Kidney surgery for a loving wife

Donation protected
Jindi (Diem) Hoang is a strong, loving and caring person. At the age of 23 she was married to husband Thom Nguyen and he relocated to Vietnam to be with her. Later that year in 2016 the heavens gave us a gift and she was pregnant. Over the course of 5 months I have done everything to keep her healthy and well. But little did we know that her body was breaking down from the inside. Around March of 2017 while going for her monthly check up at the OB/GYN they notice that her blood pressure has sky rocketed to 180 so we had to omit her to the emergency room. In just a little as 3 to 4 days we went from a happily married and soon to be parents to having to fight for her life. Jindi was diagnose with Preeclampsia a kind of disease that restricted blood to the placenta and therefore nutrients to our baby. Because of this the doctor had told us to prepare ourselves to save the mother or both will die. Jindi was not told of this and as the husband and also soon to be father I have to make the decision quickly. On March 28th just a few days after celebrating her 24th birthday in the hospital we lost our 6 month pregnancy son Zeki Nguyen and heaven got a new angel. 


Thinking that all bad and sad things are left behind, I've decided to moved back to the USA to petition for her to come over. Just as the nightmare was left behind a new one begun. By the end of 2017 my wife Jindi was brought back into the hospital for fluid in her lungs. After the treatment of her the doctor gave us more bad news and informed us that her kidney has ditearated to a stage 3 CKD and is moving faster to stage 4 and possibly the end stage. In as little as a few weeks we slowly change her diet and way of living, but it still did not help and got even worst. I've constantly have to take off of work to fly back to Vietnam to be with her. But as time flew by her sickness became worst and she was constantly in and out of the hospital. This causes me to not be able to take anymore time off of work to send money back to her for medical treatment. Then in the summer of 2018 the worst case scenario happen, she was put on hemodialysis 2-3 times a week to take out all the toxin in her body. But little did we know that the hemodialysis is causing her already weak heart to weakening even more and therefore we have to switch over to peritoneal dialysis. Where she has to put into her stomach about 2 ouces of solution 3 times a day to flush out all of the toxin. Over the course of half a year she developed a clogged in her catheter and then an infection which cause her to go back to hemodialysis and now her heart is getting worst again. 

I'm sorry trying to explain so much about our situation but I have no other means to help out my wife. Because her family and I have prior health problem which makes us not suitable to be a donor. But since she's still in Vietnam and the medical practice over there is 10+ times cheaper than in the USA we decided to postpone her petition and try to get her a new kidney there. Even though the procedure is cheap I have depleted all funds just for her prior medical treatment. I really do not want to be a burden to anyone but this is our last hope to get her a new kidney asap before her heart gets any worst. 

I'm pleading to those with good and kind heart to donate what you can and if you can't please share this link to your familys and friends who might can help. Please help give Jindi and new life, she has been holding this all to herslef for so long and as a husband I have never felt any more usless then now. 

Thank you for taking your time to read this and  bless you all.
