Stage 5 Kidney Failure, Help the Tupper family!

Jesse and Jenna Tupper, along with their beautiful family of 5 children need the communities help. You know how this works, any amount given is appreciated. See below for a short summary from Jenna:

The end of May he was diagnosed with stage 5 Kidney Failure. In September of 2023 he had Covid and a week later had a stroke. During this hospital stay he was told his kidneys were starting to show a few signs of weakening but all tests checked out okay and was given medication. Released and kept having swelling and doctors ran tests after tests and bloodwork and still could not figure out why so his Nephrologist ordered a biopsy in May of this year 2024 and came back that he was in Stage 5 of kidney failure with less than 20% kidney function and would need to start dialysis immediately. He began this the next day. Since then he has no longer been able to work and has had multiple trips to the hospital for fluid buildup in the lungs and chest wall, infections and most recently C-diff. He has applied for medical disability and we are still waiting it’s a long process. Since he was the primary provider it’s taken a huge toll on us. I work full time but lately I have had to use all my vacation and I have none left so when I don’t work I don’t get paid either. He is doing dialysis in center three times a week and hoping to soon switch to doing it at home.

As you read, it’s been a long road. Bills don’t stop, and as a parent you want to keep your children’s lives the same as much as possible. They have one in college, two in High School, and one in elementary. If you feel led to give, it is more than appreciated. The Tupper family will be eternally grateful!
