Dearest Friends and Family,

After spending several weeks in the ICU, my brother, John, has been recently diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) with acute kidney failure. The doctors who have worked with John’s case believe that many years of undiagnosed high blood pressure is to blame. Unfortunately, this diagnosis comes with numerous hardships that involve a lot of dialysis, doctors’ appointments and procedures, a kidney transplant, and around-the-clock care which our unconditionally loving parents have graciously taken on. While we are so grateful for our parents to step in as caretakers, his uncovered medical bills and living expenses will prove to be quite an obstacle for him, his fiancé Nikki, and their one-year-old son, Corbin. At the same time, he is unable to work and beyond. Thank you for considering a donation to help my brother and his family. They truly deserve it!

With love,

Emily
