Help Jed Receive Life-Saving Kidney Transplant

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

My name is Sophie, and I'm reaching out to you today to share the story of my dad, Jed. Alongside my mom, Julie, we are facing a challenging situation that has brought us together as a family in the fight for my dad's life. A few months ago, our world was turned upside down when my dad was diagnosed with total kidney failure. Both of his kidneys have been severely affected, and despite undergoing dialysis treatment, his kidney function continues to decline at an alarming rate. The doctors have informed us that a kidney transplant is the only option for him, offering a chance of living a longer life.

However, here lies the challenge, we learned that we will need to explore out-of-network options, which means traveling to another location for my dad's critical care. This unexpected burden not only puts immense emotional strain on our family but also adds to the already significant financial challenges we face.
 
In our pursuit to find a suitable kidney donor, we have partnered with a service specializing in identifying potential donors. While we continue this search, our immediate concern is to ensure that my dad can live long enough to receive a transplant. He is only 50 years old, and the thought of losing him at this stage of my life is unbearable. Over the past few years, our relationship has flourished, especially since I began my journey of transitioning three years ago. My dad has become my best friend, and I cherish the precious moments we spend together.

This is where we need your help. We have created this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds that will go directly towards my dad's medical expenses, including the costs associated with seeking out-of-network care, travel, accommodation, and the overall financial burden of the transplant process. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact and be deeply appreciated.

By supporting my dad's journey to receive a life-saving kidney transplant, you will not only be helping to extend his life but also allowing our family to continue making lasting memories together. Your generosity will give us hope during this difficult time and provide my dad with a fighting chance to overcome this health crisis.

Please consider donating to our cause and sharing our story with your friends, family, and social networks. Together, we can make a difference and bring renewed hope to my dad's life.

 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love and gratitude,
 Sophie
