Help Derrick Fight Kidney Failure

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Strangers,

I never imagined I would be in a position where I’d have to ask for help like this, but today, I’m reaching out with hope. I have been battling stage 5 kidney disease,chronic kidney failure and now, my doctors have confirmed that a kidney transplant is my best chance at survival.

My Journey So Far

For the past 2years, my life has revolved around dialysis treatments lasting 4 and 1/2 hrsm, hospital visits, and constant fatigue causing me miss out on my daughters school event's. Simple things like spending time with family, working, or even just walking around have become difficult. Despite all this, I have remained hopeful and determined to fight for my health.

Why I Need Your Help

The cost of a kidney transplant is overwhelming. Even with insurance, there are huge out-of-pocket expenses such as:

Pre-transplant evaluations and medical tests

Surgery and hospital stay

Anti-rejection medications (which I’ll need for life)

Travel and lodging for surgery and follow-ups

Lost income during recovery

And crazy medical bills


How You Can Make a Difference

I am asking for your kindness and generosity to help me reach my goal. Every donation—big or small—will bring me one step closer to the transplant that could save my life.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and community would mean the world to me.

A Heartfelt Thank You

From the bottom of my heart,, I want to thank you for reading my story, supporting me, and keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness gives me hope, and will be giving me to chance grow old with my family.

With gratitude,
Derrick T.
And family
