Jeremy Heaton's Fight
Donation protected
Those of you that know my son-in-law Jeremy, know that he is always there to lend a hand. He is now in a fight for his life and could use a helping hand back. In January, he was diagnosed with stage 5 renal/kidney failure. He is 37 years old with a loving wife and 4 wonderful children.
In the last 5 months he has had 3 surgery's to insert a dialysis port and repair a hernia that was caused by the dialysis. Even though he has to do dialysis treatments 4 times a day, he continues to work a full time job and live a somewhat normal life including preparing for his daughter's wedding in July. His wife also works full time and they have medical insurance, but it doesn't come close to covering the enormous bills that are piling up.
Currently there are several people being tested to be a donor. If a match is found, he could have a transplant within the next 6 months. If there is not a match, the transplant waiting list is between 3 and 5 years. The medical expenses will be in the millions of dollars and a portion of that will need to be paid by Jeremy's family.
Jeremy and Melisa would never ask for help, so I am doing it for them. Please join in his fight!!
Thank you!!
