Alisha Hudson - C3GN
Donation protected
Alisha has been in an out of the hospital since May of this year. Early diagnosis was post-infectious GN, a fairly common kidney disorder that goes away over time and leaves no permanent damage. After having missed the last 2 weeks of school, she had fallen behind and was really looking forward to catching up when the new school year began!
Unfortunately, in late August, Alisha's condition took a turn for the worse, and she was again hospitalized, resulting in even more lost time in school (and lost work time for her parents). Last week, after many more trips to doctors and hospitals, she was finally diagnosed with C3GN, an extremely rare kidney disorder with no known cure.
At this point, the doctors are talking about treatment instead of cure. It is absolutely heartbreaking to know that our sweet daughter, who had to spend her 16th birthday in the hospital, might need a kidney transplant within 5 to 10 years. And that's IF we can find a treatment that slows the progress of this degenerative disease.
The first step in this process is to recover financially from the lost work time and existing hospital bills, then we need to figure out a way to cover this expensive test ($4,500) to determine which type of C3GN she has, which should give us an idea of how it may be treated. At that point, treatment cost can be upwards of $26,000 per month for the most expensive scenario. But right now, we're just trying to take things one day at a time, and doing all we can to keep Alisha as healthy as possible.
We have had many friends and family reach out wanting to help, and they suggested we set up this page so they could contribute financially. Obviously thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated, and any financial assistance will be very helpful in this challenging time for our family.
God Bless You!
