Philip Bellis of Forestville, NY is in need of a kidney donor. He is a 43-year-old father of five who adores time spent with his family. He will be doing dialysis at home at night for 10 hours a day. Unfortunately this is an intense treatment that without a kidney donor, he will have to continue to do to save his life.

"Phil is a hardworking family man. We’re simple people just trying to make a life for our kids. We have five kids, three older and two at home. A teenager and a four-year-old who’s just starting school this year. We have a granddaughter on the way in December.

Phil is an avid Bills fan who likes spending time outdoors fishing and golfing.

Life truly is about our family and means the most to him." – Kristen Bellis, Phil's wife.

Philip is in need of support during this difficult time as he will be unable to work. He will be going to ECMC two days a week, possibly three.
