Help Needed: Kidney Transplant Support and Small Business

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

I am reaching out to you during one of the most challenging times in my life. I am currently facing a series of urgent needs that I cannot overcome alone.

Hiya my name is Saphron I am 28 from London. In 2016 I got diagnosed with Lupus which over the years started to attack my kidneys very badly. I have been facing kidney disease for the last 8 years, I've reversed it with diet and herbal healing however as the years went by, it became more and more difficult to keep up with this lifestyle as I was only a teenager at the time. In 2020 I ended up with stage 4 kidney failure and ended up on dialysis for 3 years which was an extremely hard time for me. Living alone with very little family support life just became routine to stay above water.

I made my small business called Salts Of Indigo due to not being able to use a lot of main stream products and at the time I was a small YouTuber documenting about my natural way of healing my auto immune disease, i gained a big following with this and made my own products using Natural ingredients. This made a massive impact on my health, lifestyle and success. I love being independent and able to make products that help people just like me, seeing how it's changed other people's lives is the reason I haven't given up on my small business.

February 24th 2024 I got a call in the AM from the hospital saying they have a kidney for me which has changed my life, so ever since my transplant I've been on recovery trying to get my life back and start up my business again. I opened my business a couple years ago to find some stability and independence which has been really successful, however health and finances always slow me down and put my business on hold when I'm sick. Now I am no longer constantly sick thanks to my new kidney, I am determined to keep going. So Your generosity and support could be life-changing for me and allow me to move forward with stability and hope

Here’s what I’m currently facing:

Laptop for Business and organising admin work.

I am working hard to get back on my feet, but I am in desperate need of a laptop to support my business efforts and keep my tasks and everything in 1 place. Having the proper tools will allow me to earn an income and achieve financial independence.

Being independent with an auto immune disease really impacts your memory, abilities to organise and remember simple things, I'll be able to focus more on dedicated times for work instead of doing everything on my iPhone, but I cannot afford this crucial piece of equipment on my own as benefits just about get me by

Stock And Ingredients For Business:

Buying stock and ingredients is the most difficult part of keeping my business above water as I am using my daily living costs (benefits) to pay for my stock. This leaves me set back until next pay day which does become stressful when needing to buy dog food and myself food for the weeks. I am only limited to buying 30 pieces of each item as that's all I can afford so having help with this would be a game changer and allow me to make enough money to get me out of this toxic system I am stuck in. I believe in my products and success and am determined to make a life of myself!

Finding a stall to rent:

My business is mainly online unless I'm doing annual event stalls, I know having my own stall would be the best option for me, keeping all my products in one spot and allowing people to come to me to buy products is a dream, being able to interact with customers and showcase my amazing products that truly work wonders (I have a lot of before and after transformation pictures on my Instagram Page

Kidney Transplant Diet Expenses:

I've always been a really healthy person, however this year has been a struggle due to the lack of finances to pay for my organic/natural diet. I have reversed my kidney disease 3 times in the last 8 years using diet and I need financial support to afford healthy, natural foods that are vital for maintaining my kidney function and supporting my transplant. A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains is essential for reducing inflammation, maintaining balanced electrolytes, and supporting overall organ health. Processed and unhealthy foods can strain my kidney and potentially harm the success of my transplant. Eating these natural foods not only helps manage my condition but also reduces the risk of complications, ensuring that my body stays strong and resilient. With rising food costs, having the resources to prioritize this type of eating is crucial for my health and recovery.

How You Can Help?

Any donation, no matter the size, will make an enormous difference in my life. Your contribution will go directly toward:

• Stocking up on packaging and ingredients so to keep my business flowing and never on pauses.

• Purchasing a reliable laptop for work.

• Covering medical and dietary expenses for my kidney transplant and overall health.

Thank You.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity will help me find stability, regain my health, and rebuild my life.

With gratitude and hope.

Saphy.
