Our beloved Tory Kapple needs help while searching to find a live kidney donor ASAP to survive. Due to suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease since childhood, Tory's condition has deteriorated to the point of needing dialysis 5 days a week, a 45 min. drive away from home.
His very real financial needs include gas, car insurance, utilities, daily costs of living, and certain medical expenses not covered by Tory's insurance! He is too tired to work much anymore and his family has been supporting him, but the bills are piling up!
In addition, we've had to pay for a billboard, lawn signs, car magnets and radio ads to FIND that magical kidney donor!
The family needs our help to carry Tory through this tough time, and especially until and through transplant time (which we pray will be very soon!).
Your donation matters and will make a real difference!
Some more about Tory's Story:
Tory is a 24-year old artist and recent college graduate from Oregon State University. Tory and his cat, Cheeseburger, live in Western Oregon and he loves adventuring, climbing, foraging, archery, photography, drawing, painting, making soap and jewelry, and more.
When Tory was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at age 11, he had to stop playing baseball and other activities with any risk of high-impact. Eventually, symptoms of kidney failure started to kick in, and even though he had a super difficult time getting through school while enduring pain and driving to countless medical appointments, he still managed to graduate from OSU in 2023!
Since starting dialysis in August, though, Tory can no longer do archery or most exercises, due to the fistula in his arm. Dialysis is physically and emotionally exhausting, as is the hunt for a donor match.
Your help will ease the burdens that Tory is facing. Donations of all size are deeply appreciated!
Fund administration:
Tory's mama Cynthia has been one of my besties since 1994, and I've known and loved Tory since he was born in 2000. As his Godmother and Admin for this GoFundMe campaign, I will personally ensure that all donations directly support Tory's journey.
THANK YOU so much! ♥️
