Fro's Ride For A New Kidney

Dear Friends and Family,

As this is very hard for me to write,

I am setting up a Go fund Me account for Fernando Castillo. For those of you who do not know, a few months back Fernando hadn't been feeling well for a while and thought it was best to go and get checked out not realizing the devastating news that would change his life. With multiple testing done Fernando received the news from his doctor that he has stage 5 kidney failure. With multiple doctor's appointments and a kidney specialist and even having a second opinion The results remained the same. Fernando will be needing a new kidney. Sometimes it takes years to find a donor that is a match. If interested in donating a kidney reach out to Fernando. With all your prayers we are believing for a miracle. This coming Tuesday Fernando will be having a surgical procedure done, "Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter" with this surgery they will be placing a dialysis catheter into his stomach a few inches from his belly button. With this procedure the catheter will remain there. "Let me explain" Fernando had a couple of different options on how he wanted to receive dialysis. He chose to have dialysis in the comfort of his own home. The type of dialysis that Fernando will be receiving is much easier on his system than the traditional dialysis where you go into a dialysis center. He will be able to hook himself up and receive dialysis in the evening time and throughout the night as he sleeps. With this kind of dialysis He will have to do it seven nights a week for 9 hours each night until he receives a new kidney. We are unsure how Fernando will be feeling and what kind of toll it will take on his body with feeling fatigue or feeling sick. As of right now he has good days and bad days. Lately he has not been feeling good at all. Fernando has a full-time Job and he will be having to take unpaid time off with his surgery and with the "unknown" of how he's going to feel not including the time off work for him traveling out of town for certain medical appointments. Fernando is under an extreme amount of stress with his health and with his financial situation. Fernando's family and I are asking for any Financial Support With What Ever You Can Give. This Will Make A Life-Changing Difference. All money received will go toward medical bills, medical equipment, travel expenses, Time off Work and to help with living expenses with the loss of income. We are Thankful to those of you who are able to Help financially and If you are not able to financially help at this time we are thankful for all your Prayers. That is a blessing in itself.

I will continue to share and keep All of you informed on Fernando's progress and any new information that comes about. Thank you from the bottom of our Hearts.
