Help Save Rob Lavery's Life

PLEASE HELP ME STAY ALIVE!

Hi, my name is Rob Lavery. About 4 years ago, I had a severely enlarged prostate, which blocked my ability to remove fluids from my body. Because of this, I experienced complete kidney failure. It was a struggle to survive that. Everything seemed stable for a few years. I considered dialysis and a transplant. Everything seemed okay; I was the guy working out and doing 30 pushups every morning, etc.

Then, about 2 months ago, I got up and couldn't walk more than 10 feet without feeling like I was having a massive heart attack. I drove myself to the emergency room to find out I have heart failure. From that point on, life has been a nightmare. To find out that the doctors and medical world can't do much in treating me or helping without transplants of both kidney and heart. Meds were used, except the meds for my kidneys are bad for the heart. Also, the meds to help my heart will fail my kidneys. So now, after days in the hospital with doctors just staring at me with no solutions and just feeding me drugs like massive blood pressure meds to wind me down, I am now in dialysis 3 days a week just to stay alive. I don't feel very good, it's hard to walk, very weak, and hard to breathe. The problem now is my heart isn't strong enough for any major operation or transplant, or I would get a kidney and heart transplant.

So at this point, I want stem cell therapy to at worst rebuild my heart muscle to get a transplant. There is good evidence that stem cells can save both my kidneys and heart. I am asking desperately for $18, 000 for the first few infusions to make a leap in the right direction. The big problem now is the clock is running and I am in need of these funds NOW! Please help with whatever you can afford! $10, $20, $50, $300, etc. I need to do this fast!
