Help Tim Bailey Find a Life-Saving Kidney Donor
Donation protected
Hello my name is Tim Bailey and I’m reaching out to you kind people I’m 29 and I’ve been fighting for my life for the past 8 years on dialysis at just the age of 21 I was diagnosed with end stage renal disease and I began dialysis treatments shortly after for most people in there twenty’s life is about building dreams, careers, and families but for me life has been about survival spending up to 12 hours a week hook up to a machine managing exhausting symptoms and living with uncertainty despite all this I have remained positive, kind, and hopeful but I can’t keep doing this forever my doctors have told me I can receive a transplant but only by a living donor this would significantly improve my way of life we are now on mission to find a living donor living donor transplants are often better for the transplant recipient but in my case it’s the only way to even get one I have a urostomy bag a urostomy bag is a bag on my stomach that I urinate in but since I have end stage renal disease I do not urinate and haven’t in 8 years and that has resulted in the internals to close up and not work I have to have a surgery to remove and replace the internals so they have a place to connect the transplanted kidney so everything works the way it should this is why I need a living donor because if I would have the urostomy bag surgery and then be put on the transplant list I run the risk of it closing back up before finding a match that’s where your love and support comes in to play please message me if your interested in getting tested or even if you donate a little to me it will fund gas to get me to the Cleveland
clinic to get a second opinion I would appreciate anything you are able to provide thank you and much love everyone
