Hi everyone! My name is Ashli, and I’m starting this gofundme for one of my best friends, Jennifer Ray. For those of you who don’t know her, let me just tell you, she is one of the strongest, most inspiring women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Someone who was once a perfectly healthy girl, had things turn for the worse for her when she was only a teenager. She developed her first of what would would end up being many autoimmune diseases. A disease called Goodpastures Syndrome. Her kidneys were no longer functioning. She has been on dialysis since the age of 20. She had her first go around with a kidney transplant many years ago, but her body rejected the donor kidney, so back to dialysis it was. After many, many lows, fighting for her life, all while continuing to stay positive and keep pushing forward, she has finally been given the chance to participate in a clinical trial for a medication in which her body should be able to accept the donor kidney this time around. Her selfless husband, Max, is also donating one of his kidneys so that doctors could find an exact match for her as soon as possible. She was made many monetary promises, as clinical trials are very expensive and she will have to miss at least 3 months of work. She thought her trip to New York was fully paid for, signed her consent forms, planned her time off work, started her dialysis transfer process, only to be told right before leaving that doctors weren’t paying for as much as they promised they would. This procedure is potentially life saving for Jenn, not to mention life changing. She should not have added stress from piling bills while going through chemo treatments and being poked and prodded by doctors daily. She is already in over $10k worth of debt and has only been in New York for not even two weeks. That number will only continue to grow, along with her bills at home. Jennifer is an amazing human. She is a warrior. She deserves the world. Please donate if you can!
