Help Yvonne (Surprenant) Sloan get her Kidney

Donation protected
As many of you have known, our sister (daughter) Yvonne was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) 11 years ago in 2008.  Before the passing of our beloved mother due to kidney failure of complications from PKD, our family was tested to be live donors but not one of us were a match.  In fact, myself and Yvonne learned that we both carry the same terminal disease (PKD).  Since then Yvonne has dealt with many other health issues as well.  This past summer she was told that her kidney function had dropped to 8%.  In August 2019, at age 39, Yvonne was put on dialysis treatments three times a week.  The closest opening for treatments was in Oneida, NY.  In order to get these treatments every week Yvonne has had to sacrifice her hours at work to concentrate on her health.  Only working very few hours a week, the bills and expenses are piling up causing more stress on her and her family.  But she has no choice to continue treatments so she can be here for her husband and their 6 yr old daughter.  She has now been placed on the transplant list and that call could come at any time!  And when it does, it will come with a lot of expenses up front to get her kidney.  She has a long road ahead but has great support behind her.

We are asking for any donation possible to help ease the burden on this family.  All money raised will be used for surgery, meds, expenses, and travel to get that kidney she desperately needs.
Thank you all so much in advance.  Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated!
