Help Catie Get the Kidney She Needs

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Michelle. I am trying to raise money for my best friend in the entire world. I don't see her as much as I wish I could, but she has been my best friend since we were newborn babies! She is the sweetest, kindest person that you could ever meet. She loves wholeheartedly and cares about everyone she comes in contact with.

When we were 8 years old, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Her diabetes has taken a toll on her body medically. She is currently battling Stage 5 kidney failure. She is in need of a new kidney (blood type A-), and is currently on dialysis 5 days per week.

There are certain hills that need to be climbed before transplantation can even take place. One of those being dental care, which will cost $25,000.00! Plus, once the surgery is complete, she will need to stay near the hospital for a couple of months, so her family and she will be needing to rent an Airbnb. Plus, there are wages that will be lost while she is not working (she is currently still working). Please, I am begging you, if you have anything at all that can be spared, Catie and her family can definitely use it! Please share if you can!

There will be a benefit for her held on January 25th at the Albion Moose. $10/plate for spaghetti, breadsticks, and salad.
