Hi, my name is Ed (King) Przydatek. I'm a 49-year-old musician/carpenter living in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Maybe you can help me with something. I have been diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease and I'm in Stage 4 kidney failure. I was born with this disease, but it only became an issue when I recently lost one of my kidneys in a car accident. I broke eleven ribs, punctured a lung, lacerated my liver, was bleeding from my aorta, had two blood transfusions, and lost a kidney. I made a full recovery, but I've struggled to make ends meet due to fatigue, prescription regimen, digestive issues, medical follow-ups, and preparation for a kidney transplant. I've completely given up alcohol, smoking, and red meat because I'm serious about being compliant. I want to live! I'm doing everything I can, but I need your help. I'm asking for your financial support to help with my care before and after my transplant surgery.
