Transportation for Dialysis and Job

Donation protected
Hello everyone, recently, my mother is in need of a car for transportation to her dialysis and her job. It is really important that she has a car of her own in case of emergency, as if there are no other ways of transportation, a car is necessary for her to be able to be treated medically. Rita is a victim of poly cystic kidney disease, a inherited disorder that causes clusters of cyst to develop in the kidney in her body. This means that her kidney has the ability to swell to awful sizes, a condition that often leads to high blood pressure, back and side pain, as well as a swollen abdomen. You can refer to this link to find out more about her condition http://www.kidneyfund.org/kidney-disease/other-kidney-conditions/polycystic-kidney-disease.html .  My mother has been going to dialysis for about 4 years, and is waiting to get a new kidney. However, that process may take a long time, as the waiting list for a new kidney is filled with many people. It has become difficult for us to spend a lot of money on taxis and uber driving, as typically it costs about $20.00 for that kind of transportation.  My mother has a difficult time walking, so the bus is also a troublesome issue for her. I would appreciate if anyone could donate a few dollars in contribution to the well being of my mother, Rita. She is a very hard worker, and I want to get her a car so that she will be able to go to dialysis and be able to get a job without having to worry about getting lost on the bus or relying on someone else to drive her. The situation right now is okay, but I would really appreciate if we could get the funds for the car in less than a year. I believe that the addition of a car to my mother's life will greatly benefit her. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this, and I hope you consider donating to our cause. 

From Rita's daughter, Tricia.
