Hi, my name is Brandy. When I was 10 years old, I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). In 2021, I started hemodialysis and switched to peritoneal dialysis. After 4 years and 3 months of waiting time, on June 1st, I received a call for a kidney in Rochester, MN at Mayo Clinic. On June 2nd, I received the gift of life... a new kidney. The only downside is I have to stay in Rochester, Minnesota for several weeks.

Prior to getting my call for a kidney, I was working forty-plus hours a week. I had just recently closed on my own home. Being away from home and out of work, my savings dwindled quickly. I'm just asking for a little bit of help to maintain everything until I'm able to go home in a week or so and hopefully return to work ASAP, as soon as my transplant team gives the OK. I've worked too hard to lose everything. God bless.
