In 2016, I was diagnosed with late onset type 1 diabetes, which means my  body no longer produces insulin. By the time I was properly diagnosed I was already experiencing complications of this disease. The biggest of these was the rapid decline of my kidney function.  I currently have stage 4 kidney disease and its working at about 14% efficiency.  

The medical option that will give me a better quality of life and an opportunity to interact fully with my Beautiful wife Kristin, and our gorgeous baby Girl Aaliyah is a kidney/pancreas transplant.  It's a fairly expensive procedure (even with insurance) and  I will be getting abbreviated pay for the 2 months it will take me to recover after the surgery.  The 10k I'm asking for will help cover medical expenses as well as some of my living expense as I will be living in New Orleans near Oschner transplant clinic while I go through the recovery process.  

If you are willing, and able to donate , my little family and I will be forever Grateful! 

Thanks so much.
