Help Anthony after Kidney Donation

Hello everyone,

My name is Charity Lumpkin and I'm reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for support during my husband’s journey to donate his kidney to another. Anthony’s decision to give the gift of life will be life-changing to his recipient, who is on dialysis and will improve his health, longevity, and overall quality of life. This selfless act requires Anthony to focus on his recovery, which will put him out of work for several weeks, creating a financial strain of lost wages due to the recovery process.

The Kidney Donation Journey:

Life presents us with opportunities to make a difference, and when Anthony heard his recipient’s story, he knew it was a chance to truly give the gift of life to a fellow husband, father, son, and brother.

After much prayer, researching, consulting medical professionals, and speaking with recipients of kidney transplants, he felt more convinced than ever that this was the right decision for him to make a difference. We knew the chances of Anthony being a match were slim until we got the call that he was a match!!

After extensive testing, he has been approved to donate on 9/21/2023. However, post-donation recovery requires time away from work to ensure that his body can heal properly, and his job does not offer paid time off or short-term disability benefits.

Why We Need Your Support:

We are humbly reaching out to our friends, family, colleagues, and the broader community for assistance. Your support will help alleviate the financial burden caused by the loss of wages during this recovery period. The funds raised will be used to cover essential living expenses, travel costs, household bills, and other immediate needs, ensuring that he can focus on his health without the added stress of financial strain.

How You Can Help:

Your support, whether through contributions or sharing his story, will make a significant difference in his ability to focus on healing without the added stress of financial worries. This journey has taught us that we are truly stronger together, and your contribution, whether it's the cost of a coffee, a small donation, or even sharing this campaign within your network, your support will be deeply appreciated.
