Graft surgery for dialysis access

Donation protected
My journey actually started in 2011 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I spent most of 2012 going through chemo and radiation. My first treatment, I stopped breathing. We later find out that it resulted in a heart attack. So then I have surgery to have a defibrulator installed. That was at the end of 2015. After that I had a stroke from which I am still having sensory issues. Having gone through all that, my kidneys are only working at 14%. I am not eligeble for a transplant because of all my health issutes. That leaves me at doing dialysis for the rest of my life. I alredy had one surgery that they had to go back in and undo. Now the only other option is a graft but because I was laid off in December itis tough trying to come    up with all this.
Please, if everyone could try to donate a little something, I would be so grateful. They wont do the surgery without payment. The quicker I can get this cath removed the better. It is very high risk  for infection, so I practically live in a bubble for fear of germs.
I know many have said I am an inspiration because of how I keep fighting and moving on, but dang, I'm  getting tired and just want to enjoy the hopefully next 30 years.
