Support Mike's Fight Against Kidney Failure
Donation protected
Hey guys!! Many of you know me, Mandi Moore.. I am putting this fundraiser together for Staci & Mike!! They are needing our help, big time!!! Here is a little bit of what's going on in Staci's words....
Gotta share some bad bad news. I just got off the phone with the hospital doctor. When Mike went into the hospital 2 days ago, his kidney function was around 14% today it's 12%, and when it hits 10, that's end stage kidney failure they are starting him on dialysis tomorrow morning. Without a transplant, his life expectancy is 2 to 5 years. Without dialysis, it's measured in days to weeks and palliative care. At this point, the doctor said he doesn't know if his heart could hold up for transplant surgery. Regardless I'm going to hopefully become a kidney donor for someone else on the list to move him up for the next kidney (I'm A+ and he can only take O) don't know when he's gonna come home and highly likely he's not going back to work. The insurance sucks.. It's both horrifying and hopeful to do this. We are not good at asking people for help, specially if they're hurting too.
But with my dad and our Jack, this has absolutely gutted me.
that's the situation, and I'm hoping I won't crack under all this and lose my mind while I continue to pray I don't lose him .
We need to come together to help this family!! Mike & Staci need our help!!! Let's pull together & move mountains for them!! Let's show them the love we have for them!!!
