Alex and Martha’s transplant surgery fund

Greetings,

I would like to introduce myself and share my story. My name is Alexander and I am 33 years old. I am a father of two beautiful boys whom I am raising with my fiancé, Gabriella.

My whole family has been affected by this disease as they have watched me battle with depression. Through hard work and a change of mindset, as well as my faith in God, I’ve been able to overcome my battle with depression and regain control of my life.

It feels like once I changed the way I viewed my circumstance and began building myself back up, God stepped in and intervened.

This past Memorial Day I received a call from the transplant team informing me that they have found a candidate and surgery is set for the 22nd of September!

Words cannot describe the emotions of gratitude I am feeling. My Aunt who I love dearly was chosen to be the right fit for me.

She is the most selfless person I know and has always been a source of love and encouragement for me. I know I can never repay her back for the gift of life she is gifting me, but I can attempt to relieve her of her worries by helping to cover her expenses while being out due to surgery and recovery.

Recovery may take 4-6 weeks and she is a single mother who owns a business that requires her to physically be there in person. Being that she is donating me a kidney, she will be unable to make income or pay her bills for that month. 

I hope that somehow with the support of my family and friends that we can donate back to her, for being a warrior in her own right, and blessing myself and my family with the gift of life.✊

Anything you can give will go a long way. ❤️

Thank you
