Help Mike Riley Get a Life-Saving Kidney

Donation protected


Hello, my name is Mike Riley, but you may know me as Mike Riley, and I need a kidney. As I have just had the 10th anniversary of being on dialysis, I feel enough is enough and finally go for a kidney again. The thing is, it’s bloody expensive. Copays alone are enough to bury someone, with $4,000 out of pocket for the organ itself in addition to at least 1,000 copays for anti rejection medications which is monthly. Plus possible hotel stays to be closer to Denver that can reach at least 1,000, and multiple weeks of recovery time. I can’t do it alone.

This will be my third kidney transplant, so it will be a lot harder to place, as well as find a match. But the good news is that they account for “times served,” so I should be well up on the list once active. My mother and I started on dialysis at the same time, at the same clinic. And here I am, 15 years after she died on dialysis, refusing to do the same. It is time that I enjoy my life and do what is necessary to live in a world where I don’t have to get big ass needles in my arm every other day lol.

So here I am asking you wonderful people to give me a hand, which will lead to a kidney, which will lead to a better life, which would lead to me being in a better mood, which will lead to you being in a better mood. So please donate if and what you can. I have never asked people for money before, but I think it’s a pretty good cause, so might as well go big. Plus, it was recommended by the transplant team. Thank you so much, that’s my time.
