Help the Obi family overcome kidney failure

It all began on December 21st, 2020. The man I love, my husband, started experiencing symptoms of kidney failure. Was this really happening? How much time does he have? I was scared to death to say the least. I consulted Dr. Google to begin researching. We had weeks if not days. On New Year's Eve, he went to the hospital. At that time, he was diagnosed with end stage renal disease with only 4% kidney function left. Surgery was done, and dialysis started on January 4th. All at the age of only 48. Two more fistula surgeries followed and a regular dialysis treatment began three times a week. At the same time all of this was happening we found out we were pregnant with baby number four. How could we have been given such a blessing and not know if I would be raising four kids alone? So many emotions. I didn’t know weather to be happy or sad. We have a beautiful baby on the way, but how can we pay for it? Time passed and we welcomed our son in May of 2021. My husband still hasn’t been able to work. Medical bills are heavy, monthly bills are piling up unpaid, and we are about to lose the home we have been in for fourteen years. There is a silver lining though. I was tested to be his donor and by God’s miraculous intervention we are compatible!!! I will be his donor! His life saving surgery happens on March 8, 2022. Raising a family of 6 on a teacher’s salary is impossible. I am a woman of faith and love people. I try to see the good in everything and everyone. God bless you for helping our cause. May God be with you always.


Love,
The Obi’s
