Support Delaney Warren’s Transplant Journey

Hi, my name is Delaney Warren, and 

I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease caused by a rare auto-immune condition called glomerulonephritis. Essentially, glomerulonephritis is where inflammation occurs in the glomeruli, specifically tiny filters that are supposed to remove waste from the blood, which is what my kidney’s cannot do anymore. Before I got diagnosed with CKD, I was having blurry vision and throwing up. I couldn’t take care of myself and needed help from my family. I’ve had several hospitalizations on and off from the spring and summer months of 2024. I was doing hemodialysis in center from mid-August to December before I transitioned to doing peritoneal dialysis at home, which is better on the body. This preserves my kidney function but does not restore it. My kidney function is less than 15%, and both my kidneys are permanently scarred. At one point, my kidney function was 11%. I have end-stage renal failure and am currently active on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. Due to being on dialysis, my immune system is currently compromised.

Aside from going through this trauma, I successfully managed to graduate college while being hospitalized and on dialysis daily. I go back to college in the Fall for Medical Assisting and I am a Mass Communications major. I just got approved for SSI to assist me with living and this has set me back because I cannot work. I’m asking for assistance through this GoFundMe page to provide the cover of costs for my transplant surgery, transplant medications, and living expenses. I thank all of you for your support and helping me fight during this journey with CKD. Every bit counts. ♥
