Help for the Marte family

Dear friends and family,
My name is Edgar and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of my wife Diana. She is 33 years old and the mother of my 3 children Valerie, Sebastian and Kevin. She is the loudest proudest soccer mom and the rock the holds our entire family together.
As many of you may know, My wife Diana has been battling with kidney failure since March 2014. It has been a very tough journey for her and the family. We've had a lot of ups and downs. Everything took a turn for the worst April 2019 when we were told that her kidneys were only working at 10% function, meaning that she would need to start dialysis right away. What we didn't know is that this would be the beginning of a long list of complications that made 2019 a year of several hospitalizations with physical and emotional challenges. 7 surgeries later, she currently does hemo dialysis at a clinic 3 times a week for 3 hours. Some days are better than others.
The good news is that we have found a new kidney! Valentina, who is her younger sister, recently got tested and is a perfect match. She is giving us a second chance at life. The transplant tentative schedule date is set for September 17th (depending on covid 19 cases in our area).
So that brings me to the reason why I have started this fundraiser. Due to her condition Diana has not been able to work making me the sole provider for our family of 5. I plan on taking a month off from work to take care of her and the kids. This fundraiser will help pay for her anti rejection medication, medical bills and the month's expenses. Also we would like to help Valentina pay for her medical bills and lost wages.
Myself, Diana, Valerie, Sebastian and Kevin would like to thank you in advance for your help and support. We hope this story will have a new beginning soon!
