This December, my Mom was tragically diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure, or Kidney Failure. My Mom, Jessie Wilkes owns her own Pet Sitting Business, and she has been completely blindsided with this illness.

The only hope for her is a Kidney transplant. She is currently on dialysis treatments, which take everything out of her mentally and physically. She is unable to take care of those precious fur babies that she loves so much. My mom has medical insurance, but the out of pocket expenses are astronomical. Additionally, with no income coming in, basic needs such as food and utilities, as well as rent, are impossible to afford.

My hope is that I am a match with my mom to give her my kidney, but if not, we pray that doctors will find a match for her, and she will receive a healthy kidney and can go back to the work she loves.  Until then, I am reaching out in the hopes that I can raise the necessary funds that my Mom needs to survive the next several months. Anything that you can give will be greatly appreciated. Please share Jessie’s story with all your friends and family. Any little bit will help.
