Support Eddie's Fight Against Kidney Failure

Eddie Brand

In April of 2024, my friend and other brother Eddie received the news that he was in Stage Four Kidney failure. After weeks of in and out of the hospital, he now faces another devastating blow: His job won't let him work.

Eddie has spent over 40 years as the steady, compassionate heart and beloved friend, colleague, and neighbor. He has been a light for so many for so long. His wife Robin is caring for him full-time, while medical bills and everyday expenses keep piling up. They are exhausted—physically, emotionally, and financially.

This is our opportunity to give back to the man who’s given so much of himself to all of us. Let’s show Eddie, Robin, and their kids they’re not alone and lift them up with the same love, care, and giving hearts that they have poured into the Bakersfield community for decades.

Your support will help with:

• Emergency, hospital, and dialysis costs

• Future kidney surgery

• Medications and medical equipment

• In-home care and rehab

• Transportation and basic living expenses

• Mortgage so he doesn’t lose his house

Every donation—large or small—is so greatly appreciated. If you can’t give right now, please share this page and keep Eddie in your prayers.

Our goal is to raise $5000.00

Let’s carry them through this storm, together.
