Hi my name is Adrian, as of late I've noticed a decline on my health, more so these past six months. I used to be able to run up and down the stairs without any problems, but now I struggle to climb up and down the stairs taking it one step at a time. My bones seems to have stiffen up some, some days it's a struggle to get out of bed; legs are weak, but I have to in order do to do what I have to do that day. I have sickle cell disease and as well as complete renal failure( kidney failure ). I go to dialysis three times a week. Some days I'm unable to work after dialysis due to headaches, fatigue and just my body trying to regain itself after the four hours of dialysis. I usually go home and sleep for a bit and try to get back up and have a productive day, but like I  said sometimes my energy just isn't what it used to be. I've been doing dialysis for about ten plus years. I go to NIH ( National Institute of Health ), and they were planning to try and get rid of the sickle cell but their success rate has not been good with patients with sickle cell disease so until they they have a better success rate they are putting that on hold. So I cannot get a kidney transplant until I am free of the sickle cell. So until then I have to continue doing dialysis.  At 34 years of age I feel as if I have not accomplished much in my life due to my health situations. My end goal is to be a photographer doing weddings and birthdays. That is my dream, but as of late my body is telling me otherwise. So here I am on Christmas day writing this in hope for a Christmas miracle to just relieve some stress from the medical bill/bills that I have to pay. I am thankful for everyday that I have been given and thank God for the family and friends that I have in my life. I always have a positive outlook in my life no matter how bad things may seem. So with that being said I just want to thank all who will read this and donate, may God continue to bless you and your family.
