Hi, my name is Kelly. I am an Autism/Special Needs Advocate and on the Board of Directors for the Autism Society of the Mahoning Valley. I have a set of beautiful twins, Kamryn and Reygan, who have Autism and an amazing son Liam at home.

I recently was blessed to receive a kidney transplant. I had been on dialysis for months and was told due to excessive antibodies from blood transfusions from a bleeding disorder that it wasn't likely I'd receive a kidney. On Memorial Day I received a call from the Cleveland Clinic stating that they found a match for me. A 17 year old boy had died from a heart attack and the family generously donated his organs. So on Memorial Day I received his kidney.

I am fundraising for travel, medical, and recovery costs. I have to travel to the Cleveland Clinic twice a week for awhile to see doctors get labs, then once a week, then every other week and so on for a full year. I cannot work for quite awhile. I am incurring travel costs including gas, tolls, parking, and atleast two meals for myself, my kids, and whoever brings me. Not all of my medications are covered and I have co-pays on all of them. I need different medical things for my house to assist in my recovery. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
