Dawns Kidney Transplant

Donation protected
Well I have spent a lot of time thinkingo n what to put here and have decided to just tell our story. 18 years ago I found the most wonderful woman and then spent the next three years convincing her that she should marry me. I promised her that I would protect her and provide for her. Shortly after we got married Dawn became very sick and after along time of testing and firing several doctors she was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (pkd). Early last year Dawn took a turn for the worse and her kidney function dropped below 20% and was falling fast. We found a study @ the Northwestern Medical University that showed great results with putting the donors stem cells into her and after a years time coming off of all rejection drugs. We have spent the last year trying to get into the study and have been approved. The best part is I'm her donor but, the worst part is we had to comment to Dawn staying for three months and I would also have to shut my business down for several months to heal. The reason I'm hear three months is costing 20,000.00 for just the apartment and with out any income I feel my back is against the wall. I'm not the kind to ask for your help but prayers to God this is the best place for help. Thanks for taking the time to read our story and mayGod bless you all.
