Our son Ethan Long is 17 yrs old and in renal failure. Ethan was born with many complications and has endured 55 surgical procedures . Ethan is a normal 17 year old boy who enjoys family, hunting, fishing, friends, etc. We have reached a critical stage in Ethan's life as he will require a kidney transplant . He had one kidney removed at birth and the other is no longer working. He is now on dialysis until we can find a donor . Fortunately Ethan has medical insurance to cover his procedures and such. Money raised thru this campaign will be used to help with travel expenses for potential donors and ultimately the screening process for a match.
