Help Amanda Donate a Kidney to Cat
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Cat and I have Stage 4 Kidney Disease. My doctors have told me that I will need a kidney transplant as my own kidneys are failing.
Enter Amanda! Amanda is the beautiful smiling face that greets you in our cover photo. Even though we have never met in person (and were only introduced by video yesterday... Wow!), she learned about my situation through my sister. She decided to register as a kidney donor for me!!!
After flying from Illinois to Pittsburgh, PA, for further testing, we are a match! Needless to say, it takes an extraordinary person to decide to donate a kidney to someone that they have never met, and Amanda is definitely a very generous and giving person! Below, you'll find a picture of her with her husband Justin and their son.
Our surgeries are scheduled for just ONE MONTH from now ! This gives Amanda even less time than that to book flights and hotel rooms, so help is urgently needed. Here are just some of the expenses that their family will have as a result of her life-giving donation:
- THREE flights to Pennsylvania and back for Amanda and her family
- Hotel costs for her family to stay in Pittsburgh for at least 14 days
- Half a month of lost wages
- Transportation to and from both airports and possibly between hotel and hospital
- Paid parking both at the hotel and at the hospital because... Pittsburgh (average $20/day at many hotels)
- So many meals away from home for their entire family
- Post-transplant medications and supplies

Any funds raised above what Amanda's needs are, will be donated to a kidney-related charity of her choice.

I am so very grateful for Amanda's incredible gift and I wish I could cover these costs myself, but since I am not able, I humbly ask that you shower Amanda in little acts of love (via your prayers and donations) to honor the immense act of love that she is extending to me.
