Support Tyrone's Kidney Transplant Journey

Tyrone was born with a rare kidney disease called Barder's Kidney Syndrome The doctors told his parents that he would not live past 12 years old. In 2006 at the age of 36 years old, his kidneys began to show signs of shutting down and he was told he had to be on dialysis, which he is currently on even now at the age of 54 years old.

With the advice, instruction, and guidance of his doctors, he was told to pursue the option of a kidney transplant. He has undergone several evaluations and testing to find the right fit and match.

He is pursuing 7-10 different kidney transplant centers all over the United States for a match. He has a few living donors willing to offer their kidneys to perform the surgery.

As each transplant center calls in for evaluation and testing Tyrone and his wife will have to travel to different states for appointments and finalization. That means accommodations, airline tickets, and food must be prepared beforehand to travel. The final flight must be made with an open ticket for surgery at the right time.

Any donations given will be appreciated. All donations will be used for the purpose stated on this website. Updates will be offered monthly as we move from place to place until the final surgery.

We are greatly anticipating a successful outcome. We know you are in prayer with us and for us, on this road to transplant 2.0.

We love you and thank you.
