God’s Calling! The Shaun-Neil Walker Story
Donation protected
Hello Family and Friends,
My name is Dwayne Andrew D’Avilar, and I am fundraising for my cousin, Shaun-Neil Walker, who lives in Jamaica, West Indies. Every now and then God calls on us to help others. So this is the time! Shaun has been a Type 1 Diabetic / Insulin Dependent for the last 25 years of his life. He is currently 42 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Stage 5 Kidney Failure. This change in his medical condition has significantly limited his ability to work and requires that he receives the following treatments frequently, to survive:
• Dialysis 2-3 times weekly to detoxify his blood.
• Blood transfusions biweekly to treat preconditions of Kidney Failure such as anaemia / low blood count.
• Optician visits once weekly to monitor and treat preconditions of Kidney Failure such as pressure build up in his eyes and vision loss.
Up until his diagnosis, Shaun-Neil was an active cook specializing in curry cuisines making a living from feeding and helping others. Now he struggles to help himself and seeks the help of the Crowd Funding Community to aid him in his fight for survival. Shaun-Neil’s interim goal is to fund his treatments or acquisition of a dialysis machine with a long-term focus on a kidney transplant.
Current Goal $15,000 USD (1 year’s treatment)
Kidney Transplant details not yet available.
My family in Jamaica is currently applying for a grant through the Ministry of Health to help with the treatments but that money if we get it might only find a month and a half of treatment. So see friends and family, your donation through this GoFundMe will be extremely helpful to keep Shaun alive! This means so much to me and the entire family! Love you guys!
