Organ Transplant Travel
Donation protected
I must have 2 organ transplants - my kidney and my liver. My doctors cannot find the reasons for my liver failure and are assuming the kidney damage is diabetic damage. In the meantime, all kinds of bad things are happening to my body. I have lost 60lbs because it is both difficult to eat and keep food down - but my stomach protrudes full of fluid - every 2 to 3 weeks, I have to have a huge "straw" needle put into my cavity to drain gallons of fluid out because the liver is not processing them anymore. I have had a cold for a month and a half because I have no immune system to fight it off with.
I need financial help to travel to the University of Washington Transplant Center. I am unable to work, and the burdens of my illness make it impossible, and I have had to quit working. Side effects of the body not cleaning its own toxins out. I will be starting dialysis very shortly and will need to travel to Billings for treatment. I will not survive without the transplants.
I understand everyone is struggling - but if you can help me, I will be forever grateful. If you can't, I understand - please share my story - maybe someone else can. Thank you.
