Fighting For Keith #Dancingforakidney
Donation protected
Hey,
My name is Shawn and I am the proud wife of my husband of 16 years, Keith Walker. Keith is not just my husband, he is an amazing father, Christian, provider, and fighter. In 2020, Keith was diagnosed with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and has battled relentlessly against this disease over the last few years. He created the campaign, #Dancingforakidney, to increase awareness of kidney failure and educate the public on the importance of live donors. Keith has always been someone to inspire others and give back to his community. Keith's first passion is education, where he spent 7 years working in Hillsborough County Public Schools as a math teacher for all ages. He eventually used his passion for education to transition to a career in real estate centered on helping low-income families understand the home purchasing process and realize their dreams of owning a home. Not only does he devote time to helping members of his community, but he also makes sure to put his family as his top priority. Keith is the father to three boys and one girl, ranging in age from 21 to 4 years.
Over the past 2 years Keith has had to undergo dialysis and suffered several complications resulting in long hospital stays and frequent doctor's appointments. Keith's medical treatment has become increasingly burdensome due to his decline in heath and lack of continuity of care. Navigating the healthcare system has unfortunately caused mistrust, poor transparency, lack of quality care, and many concerns to fall on deaf ears. We believe Keith's health may be further suffering due to the missteps of the healthcare system.
This GoFundMe would help our family to afford medical costs, obtain greater patient advocacy, and the quality of care needed for him to recover and return home to our family. I hope to also get support from the community in which he's always been dedicated too, as we experience this challenging time. We try hard to remain hopeful but recently this has been increasingly more difficult. We are Keith's voice as he remains hospitalized and indefinitely debilitated. We are thankful for prayers, help, and any support you are able to provide in fighting this battle of understanding kidney failure and obtaining medical justice.
