Liver Transplant for Natasha Waithera

Donation protected
Natasha(Tasha) aged 21 years was diagnosed with Lupus in  2014.By the time of the diagnosis,the disease had damaged her liver (the target organ)substantially.She has  since been followed up frequently by medical experts, to maintain the remaining functional part of her liver healthy.Last Year (2019)she got the first major flare up of the Lupus disease which landed her into hospital for  a week and that affected the liver greatly.At that point, the doctors informed us that Natasha would need a liver transplant at some point in the future.On Tuesday February 18th (2020),she went for her routine follow-up and later the doctor called us back to the hospital as the situation was dire. Tasha's liver has completely deteriorated to the point the medication she has been taking is no longer  helping the liver. The doctors have recommended that the only solution right now  is a liver transplant. Tasha needs to urgently  undergo a  full evaluation  for the transplant in order to begin the process. For her to be booked in for  evaluation,the hospital needs a guaranteed sum of money to cover for the costs of  medication which the insurance will not  cover after the transplant.We need your help to raise this  required amount of money as the as the process of transplantation will not proceed without the money secured in  the bank. We thank you in advance for the support. 
    An update concerning Natasha's  medical situation. On  Wed March 11th after raising half  the amount of money needed,the liver team  at University hospital in Newark agreed to go ahead and start the evaluation process for Natasha so as to get her on the transplant list. The hospital  instructed we open an account where this money from the fundraiser will be deposited and  to  which the hospital has access to in purchase of antirejection medication.Meanwhile we continue raising the remaining  funds.We thankful for all your generosity and hopeful to raise the remaining amount.
