My name is Ariel Kirksey, I am a 34-year-old mother of 4 beautiful children.

I have been dealing with kidney issues for about 5 years now. Overall, I feel good, I'm a good mom, and hardworking woman. But on the inside, I was suffering. Within the past few months, I have found out my kidneys are now in the end stages of renal function (ESRD), also known as End Stage Renal Disease. This has been an overwhelming diagnosis in which I now have to alter my entire life around finding a transplant. Also, sustaining my life to fight and be here for my children and family. Also, to be able to be present for all of the little moments in this life. These reasons have propelled me with confidence that I will find a donor and be able to get transplanted as soon as possible. I do hope this finds you well and I am in need of a donor. If not, I am truly thankful just for any donations as well. To help me through this challenging time, as it has become and will be difficult to work fully through this time. I will use whatever blessings I receive to pay for any out of pocket expenses, medications, unexpected expenses that may arise. Also, post transplant I plan to use this to pay for the meds that are associated with maintaining a healthy kidney. If you can find it in your hearts, I’d really, really appreciate anything. Also, prayer!!!! Thank you.
