Hello, I'm Ken. I am legally blind from complete retinal detachment in my right eye and partial retinal detachment in my left. That's bad enough, but I've been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) which is at Stage 4 with my most recent eGFR at 23. My Nephrologist is just guiding a course of "wait until it is bad enough for dialysis and we can apply for a kidney transplant."

There has to be a better way. I would like to attempt Stem Cell Therapy to alleviate the need for dialysis and kidney transplant. I have chosen Cellstime, a Mexican Regenerative Medicine clinic (http://cellstime.mx) which presented the best quote at $6,000 (plus airfare), which I am attempting to raise the money to cover through GoFundMe and selling my music at http://www.blindmanrising.com or https://blindmanrisiing.bandcamp.com. I have schedule a target date of May 1 through May 5 to receive therapy.

I have included statements of my conditions from my acting physicians on my blindmanrising.com website as proof of where I stand. I want to be aboveboard and provide as much detail as I can.

So, if you can spare a little to help for this endeavor by donating here or buying some music at blindmanrising.bandcamp.com, your help is greatly appreciated! Many the Universe return your kindness multiplied.

Thanks for your consideration.
