Hi everyone! My name is Rachel, and I’m raising funds on behalf of my brother-in-law, Kenny.

If you know Kenny, you probably don’t need an explanation. He’s the epitome of loyalty and trustworthiness, always showing up for those around him. Now, he needs everyone to be there for him.

When you think of Kenny, you might think of dirt bikes, a big red truck, or someone who can always make you laugh. But most people don’t know that he’s fighting a very difficult disease.

Kenny has been diabetic since he was young, which is something many people live with. However, about a year ago, he was diagnosed with End-Stage Kidney Failure due to diabetes. Along with other struggles, we never expected how quickly his condition would worsen, leading to the need for dialysis three times a week and a desperate need for a kidney transplant at just 33 years old.

Instead of being able to spend time with his family, especially his four-year-old daughter, Kenny now has to fight to keep his health intact and hope for a transplant soon.

Once he gets his transplant, he’ll need a lot of recovery time while his body adjusts. He won’t be able to work or do any activities; he’ll just need to rest. As many of us are aware, hospital stays, medications, and supportive therapies can be incredibly expensive, leaving many families with a significant financial burden.

We’re asking for anyone’s generosity as we support Kenny with medical bills and finances during this challenging time. Any small amount is greatly appreciated.

If anyone local would like to provide additional support, we’re inviting them to Kenny’s fundraiser on June 26th at the Lafayette Club in Taunton from 5-9.

Again, we can’t thank you enough for even just sending good thoughts or a prayer his way.

If you or someone you know would like to be tested to see if you’re a match for Kenny, please visit
