Help save a life

Hello,

My name is Elma and this is my sister Shana. She is one of the most helpful, deserving, and loving people you can meet.

In a perfect world, bad things would not to good people. In a perfect world, my sister would get everything she deserves. In a perfect world, everyone would know her name just because of her good deeds. In a perfect world, we wouldn't be in tears just thinking about such a light going out so quickly. But this world is not perfect and here we are. With end-stage kidney failure, she is still helping, caring, and working for a better world.

Despite not being in the best place, we usually are the ones to help others; But never have we faced such a circumstance. Despite her illness, some bills still need to be paid and mouths need to be fed. So my sister does dialysis 3 days a week and tries to work a full-time job. Sometimes she has to miss or move her treatment so that she can go to work even when she can barely move. I am going to say the quiet thing out loud. This is going to kill her and I don't want her to die.

So from one adult to another, I ask you to please donate what you can. All proceeds are going right to my sister. She will use the money to pay her bills while she takes the time to stay home to go to dialysis due to no longer having any sick time as well applies for more solid aid, and taking the time to put her affairs in order so that she is ready for her transplant when they call her. If we exceed the donation goal, anything that is not used for bills will be donated to the national kidney foundation or a similar charity.

I sincerely thank you,

Elma Avila
