Support Michelle's Journey to a New Kidney

My name is Emily Brantner. I'm starting this Gofundme for my Mom, Michelle Michaels. My mom is outgoing, loving, caring, and a light to all she meets. She is always there to help the people around her, and now she is waiting for her Hero and Kidney transplant. She found out she had Polisystic Kidney Disease when she was 18 years old, and has had her kidney function decline since then.

The past year her kidney function has dropped more rapidly. Under the suggestion of her Doctor's, she is now on the kidney transplant list at UPMC. In the mean time, while she is waiting, I would like to get a fund started for her expenses during and after this transplant process. These funds are going toward her many expenses, those expected and unexpected, including traveling to and from Pittsburgh, meals, accomodations, etc.

If you are able to donate, it would be such a blessing to her and our family. If you are unable to donate, prayer is also greatly appreciated! We are doing all we can to alleviate as much burden and stress as we can. ALSO, if you have any desire to become her donor please go to this link livingdonorreg.upmc.com to sign up and put her Name and Birthday (05/02/1971).

Thank you so much! God Bless!
