Support Dawson Through Stage 4 Kidney Disease

Donation protected
My name is Madison and I am Dawson’s wife. Dawson has lived with type 1 diabetes since he was 5 years old. Dawson is 29 years old and over the past three years, he has suffered from severe medical conditions as a result of his diabetes. Dawson has ongoing eye injections every 3 months to help prevent him from going blind due to retinopathy. During these past three years, Dawson’s second home has been at the hospital. He was diagnosed with severe gastroparesis and spent about a week every month at the hospital for a year and a half before undergoing three surgeries. During this time, Dawson was unable to work, leaving me to cover all the bills and household needs. While battling his sicknesses, our family also received an autism and ADHD diagnosis for our son, Aidan. Public school was unable to accommodate Aidan, so we enrolled him in an amazing private school, but unfortunately, even with a scholarship, there is a tuition payment every quarter. Dawson appeared to get better after the surgeries, but as things started to calm down, our mental health started to decline. He lived in constant fear of getting sick again and I was feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. We were able to seek professional help. Things have finally started looking up over the past couple of months and Dawson had plans to start a new job back in the HVAC industry on Monday, April 7, but this past week, he passed out on our living room floor and had to be rushed to the hospital. We just received the news that Dawson has stage 4 kidney disease. We have acquired debt over the years from all the medications, medical devices, surgeries, household needs etc. Our plans were to try to pay off our debt with his new job, but the doctors have advised him not to return to work at this time. We will be looking into applying for disability, but have been told this can take several months before being approved. If you have read this far, thank you from the bottom of my heart. We appreciate all donations, shares, and prayers!
