We all know Dave and Kitty Martinez as a loving, generous, always ready to lend a helping hand couple. We have loved them and been there for them emotionally through the sad times and celebrated with them in the good times. They have a great circle of friends and family.

Now it's time for us -- that great circle of friends and family -- to come together and give them our support in a very tangible way.

Dave and Kitty are facing a new, exhausting, and taxing challenge. As Dave's failing kidneys have led him to dialysis and seeking a donor, they have also severely limited his ability to work. Medical bills, despite insurance, are increasing, as well as general living expenses. With mounting pressures, the stress is growing, too.

Please give serious consideration to helping them by contributing to this GoFundMe account set up in their names. As we work toward a minimum goal of $2,000, we have the assurance of a gift from an extremely generous person to match that on a 3 to 1 basis, turning $2,000 into $8,000. That's fantastic, and we are filled with hope and gratitude. With your help, we will hopefully soar well beyond that minimum!

Thank you so much! We know they will be overwhelmed by your love and support.

We love you Dave and Kitty!
