Kidney medical expenses

Donation protected

My name is Rafael Morquecho and I am a 30 year old with Kidney Failure. 


In 2017, I found out that my kidneys were no longer functioning and I began dialysis immediately. I have been doing hemodialysis for the last four years - in addition to having a hard toll on my physical health, the process takes four hours three days a week. 


In early 2019, I suffered a heart attack and was put into a medically induced coma for two weeks. I was able to get onto the UNOS waiting list for a new kidney because of the deterioration of my health. The process to begin the transplant is incredibly expensive. I am unable to afford the medical expenses associated with this life changing donation and surgery. 


Any donations you can afford are immensely appreciated. 

Donations will be used to pay medical bills at Loyola University Medical Center, where the transplant will take place.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers during this time... my long battle is almost over. 

-Rafael

 


Mi nombre es Rafael Morquecho y tengo 30 años con insuficiencia renal. En 2017, descubrí que mis riñones ya no funcionaban y comencé la diálisis de inmediato. He estado haciendo hemodiálisis durante los últimos cuatro años; además de afectar mi salud física, el proceso toma cuatro horas tres días a la semana. A principios de 2019, sufrí un ataque cardíaco y me pusieron en coma inducido médicamente durante dos semanas. Pude ingresar a la lista de espera de UNOS para un nuevo riñón debido al deterioro de mi salud. El proceso para comenzar el trasplante es increíblemente caro. No puedo pagar los gastos médicos asociados con esta donación y cirugía que cambia mi vida. Cualquier donación que me pusieran aportar se los agradeceria inmensamente . Por favor, manténganme en sus pensamientos y oraciones durante este tiempo ... mi larga batalla casi ha terminado. - Rafael
