Stage 5 Kidney Failure Medical Help

Donation protected
Hi everyone my name is Michael Boniello, my partner Jorge Sarante back in the fall of 2020 was diagnosed with Stage 5 Kidney Failure.  I remember it like it was yesterday, Jorge was having issues with a terrible cough, & congestion and it wasn’t getting any better.  I brought him to the ER, after numerous tests done it turned out he had been filling up with fluid.  Jorges both kidneys had failed & it also effected his heart, he has Congestive Heart Failure with 5 stents placed in his main arteries.  His heart is much better now, it is a slow road to recovery.  Jorge was doing dialysis 3 times a week, it was taking a toll on his body.  Thankfully fast forward until current he is able to do At Home Dialysis which is less stress on the body.  He is on a kidney donor waiting list and we are hopeful one day he will be able to get back to living somewhat of more normalcy.

  
All the medical bills are just piling up, it is nearly impossible that we will be able to pay these on our own.  With the bills equaling to over $100,000 now, it has put that much more stress on us.  Jorge & I are both working and trying to make ends meet to the bare minimum.  We need your help to please donate whatever you can, we really appreciate it!


*May 2022 Update*
Jorge is still waiting for a kidney donor, not sure when this is but it’s a long road ahead.  Jorge has good weeks and he has some not so good weeks.  If you would like to donate please reach out and let us know!

We want to thank everyone for taking the time in donating, for those of you who can’t donate please we ask you so kindly to share this fundraiser in every way possible.
