About 2 yrs ago, I met my “neighbor” at the dialysis center. He quickly became 1 of my closest friends; he’s one of the most caring, funniest, dependable & down to earth dudes I’ve met in my life. He always has a smile on his face, he checks on, & comes through for the people he cares about, not expecting anything in return. I’m sure if you know him, you already know this about him.

Dialysis makes it so hard to plan for anything ; you never know how you’ll feel day to day. Making it next to impossible to hold a stable, full time job. So on top of constantly worrying about your health, & the future, there’s SO much financial stress. It’s something no one should have to face alone.

He’s not far from qualifying for a transplant, but they make qualifying extremely hard. They’re very strict on weight limits; not taking into account ethnicity, body type muscle mass, etc. He’s lost a lot of weight, and continues pushing forward, but having a gym membership & the ability to afford a healthier diet would be helpful. And then of course, there’s rent, bills, car insurance, and the list goes on.

.

I’m asking anyone, whether you know him or not, to PLEASE share this with your friends and family, & if you’re in a position to do so, please consider donating; it doesn’t matter if it’s $2, $20, or $200. **EVERY SHARE & EVERY DONATION COUNTS!** If you’ve read this far, thank you so much!
