Cole's Kidney Fund

Donation protected
Karen and Cole typically don't like to ask for help too often, but they need your help this time. They have learned that Cole needs a new kidney, which isn’t news to most, but they have learned that it will be much more difficult this time around. In the past few weeks, they have been contacted by a few potential donors, and as this brings them closer to the possibility of Cole's transplant, the next hurdle is funding their stay in Vancouver for an extended period. Since they cannot live in the hospital, they will need a place to stay for the months following the transplant to be close to clinics and follow-up appointments.

As you can imagine, the transplant process is overwhelming enough the first time around, let alone a second time in just a few years. They are currently living off a single income as Cole cannot work due to his health, so they are limited to what they can save leading up to the transplant. The hope is to help with funding to take the stress of finances out of the picture as much as possible so that they can focus on Cole's health and recovery.

If you can help with donations or even sharing so this can reach as many people as possible, it would be greatly appreciated. These two are people very deserving of a break; if at the very least we can ease the finances, that would be an enormous weight lifted.
