Sweet guy fighting Urticarial Vasculitis
Donation protected
Please share out my story ~ make it go far and wide... I'm not able to work to support myself!
Two extremely rare autoimmune diseases known as "Anti-GBM" and "ANCA Vasculitis" have caused my end stage renal failure to literally change my life over night. My body's immune system is attacking my vascular system to the extent that my skin is now completely broken out in painful rashes. I've sadly had to completely stop several of my dream hobbies and odd jobs out west near the Rocky Mountains.
I am now battling something that has my Doctors stumped. They say there is no clear picture of when I can return to normal. I need a new kidney. I was on the transplant list until discovering I had a cancerous polyp in my colon. I've had an entire section of my colon removed. I need to be cancer-free through February 2022 to go back on the transplant list. I've gotten all of my blood plasma replaced. I don't know how I'm going to respond to synthetic plasma that is now coursing through my veins. I don't know if we can make my vasculitis go into and stay in remission. I will need healthy and organic food and beverage intake, which is not going to be covered by my insurance. That is why I pray that some crowd-funding can help me cover such expenses. I'm a frugal spender and a good saver.
Adding to the malaise are Atrial Fibrillation and some other related symptoms such as dizziness, disorientation and lightheadedness, and a touch of mental health irregularities. I know those issues "upstairs" are going to be a tough challenge in getting back to work somehow.
I will likely need permanent dialysis. These began as 4 to 5 hour long sessions three days per week. Now I am finally down to 3 hours and 15 minute sessions three days per week. That totally prevents having a standard 40/week day job. I am unable to afford to travel to spend time with my huge family (16 grandchildren, etc.) due to being out of work and only have less than a half-tank of fuel since late 2021.
I've been living in an assisted living community group home in Eden Prairie Minnesota. The place is nice, however the meals being prepared have nothing natural and organic, because they say that would be too expensive. My skin specialist tells me to be juicing and eating organic. I get local rides covered by insurance, but my family is too far outside the range of public transportation. I would be able to drive my own car and buy my own insurance if you all can find it in your heart to donate, even if it's just a little.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to share in my gratitude for life itself.
Blessings and peace to you all,
