Help Rynn Get Transplants and Stable Housing!

Donation protected
Some of you may know I am trying to get transplants and have been on dialysis for over 2 and a half years after COVID knocked out my kidneys. Being a disabled person who relies on a caregiver this makes my situation really complicated and this is why I am reaching out to community to ask for help. More about my situation... I have been disabled since I was a child and lived below the poverty line my whole adult life. I currently rely on approximately 55 hours of caregiving needs each week due to complex medical issues. UCLA and Cedars will not list me due to some of these complex medical issues but Mayo Clinic in Phoenix will give me a kidney and pancreas transplant. For this I need to be in Arizona for about 3 months if everything is successful and goes according to plans. Financially this is not something feasible for me without help. The insurance that I am relying on for these transplants is through my mom so if something happens to her not only would I lose my mom but the insurance that is covering transplants too. It took a long time to get insurance to approve the process and there have been further delays with my back injury from a car accident that happened a year and a half ago which is still affecting me daily and causes me to miss and postpone treatments sometimes. My mom's health and memory are rapidly declining and we are suspecting possible dementia so time is really of the essence. On top of this, my landlord has been trying to find ways to get me to move or evict me and tried 2 illegal evictions this past year. When Mayo found out about the 60 day notice they told me if I did not have stable housing they would have to postpone listing me. I cannot tell you how heartbreaking that was. I was able to stop the last attempt but have no doubts he will keep trying. So I am asking for donations so I can help make these transplants possible for my stay in AZ and maintain the rent in my Los Angeles home I have lived in for over a decade and want to come home to. Any additional funds from the goal will go toward future stable housing, food, and caregiving needs and costs and put in a savings account specifically for those needs. Here is a rough breakdown of how I came up with the goal for people who need a better picture of where the donations would go.


This goal is to help with costs associated with expenses including rent, gas, and food. We used what was donated to get out to AZ because we were told I needed to have stable housing out here in order to be listed and we ended up with surprise health delays like me breaking my ankle and it taking much longer to heal and that being the last detail in order to get me listed. Any share, kind thought, or donation sent my way is greatly appreciated. By supporting this gofundme you are helping a disabled trans person have a chance at another life after almost 4 years on dialysis. (It will be 4 years in June)
