Hello, I'm Jose DeJesus from Tampa, Florida. I'm a husband and a father of four, currently battling Stage 4 Kidney Disease. Despite my physically demanding job, I didn't notice any symptoms until a routine physical and in January 2010 revealed renal failure, leading to immediate dialysis.

Despite submitting my medical records to three major hospitals in Florida, I faced rejection multiple times in 2013 , 2015, 2019 and 2021, due to not meeting the required levels.

However, on March 25th of this year, after months of testing at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida, I received the wonderful news that I've been added to the Kidney Transplant List!

My wife and I will need to commute between Tampa and Miami, causing financial strain. We're humbly asking for donations to assist with travel, housing, and medical expenses during my 3-6 month recovery in Miami. We’re immensely grateful and thrilled to have reached this stage after enduring numerous rejections and challenges. It's been a long journey, but with faith and perseverance, we're finally seeing the light. Any and all donations, no matter the size, are deeply appreciated.

Additionally, I'm actively seeking live donors for potential matches. If you're willing and able to test, please click

Thank you for your consideration and support.
