Support Daquan's Fight Against Kidney Failure

Donation protected
Hello,

Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Daquan. I'm a 30-year-old dialysis patient. Since a young age, I was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)—a rare kidney disease that attacks the tissue in my kidneys, affecting its filtration.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in my room. It was a normal Saturday evening. For some reason, I could not breathe. My breathing became more shallow and more shallow. My mom recommended that I go to the emergency room. When I arrived at the hospital, I received devastating news: one of my kidneys had shut down, and I had to immediately go on dialysis to live. I was devastated. Because of my early diagnosis, I already knew that this day would come—but I was not prepared for it to come this early.

Living on dialysis at a young age can take a toll—mentally, financially, and emotionally. I could no longer work my job because I have to go to the dialysis center three times a week. Often after treatments, I am physically drained and without enough energy to do basic tasks. My entire life has been upended by this one change that had a profound impact on my life.

I am coming to you today because having dialysis can take a toll. I need finances to cover basic living and medical expenses.

Will you be able to help me? Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
