Support Jen through her kidney transplant

Donation protected
Jennifer is an incredible friend, and a much-loved and adored wife to Eric and mom to two amazing girls. This woman is amazing.

Jen and her family recently learned that her kidneys are failing.
She’s had to undergo months of tests and countless doctor’s appointments. Thankfully, she finally found a kidney donor. She’ll soon be undergoing a life-saving kidney transplant.

Even with insurance, the combined medical bills and costs will be astronomical. She’ll also need to take medical leave from her job in order to take needed time to recover from this major operation.

Here’s her story: 

“In January, my body went into End Stage Renal Failure. I spent six nights in the hospital. I was poked and tested for all sorts of things. A biopsy confirmed that my Kidneys would not get better. They were 80% scar tissue and their arteries were extremely inflamed. I went home on lots of new medicines to help try to slow down the progression. By March, I had been referred to Emory for a transplant evaluation. I was approved and we started searching for a live donor, as my numbers continued to worsen. My Kidneys are currently working at only 7%. So many people we know and love filled out the forms and even had testing done. Thankfully a perfect match for me was found. On August 7th, I will be receiving a new Kidney from a wonderful person we have know for years. We are beyond grateful for this amazing gift. Recovery will be about 6-8 weeks. I'm as scared as I am excited to begin my new journey.”
