Healing for Wendy

Donation protected



Hi, my name is Wendy, and I'm here because I need your help.  But first let me tell you my story. I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis over five years ago, a form of Lupus that attacked and damaged both of my kidneys. I was placed on dialysis shortly after and have been receiving dialysis treatments to be able stay alive ever since. In the last five years I've had multiple major surgeries including knee surgery and an apendectomy, all of this while undergoing dialysis. My health has been declining more in the last few years. I started suffering from high blood pressure as a result of the kidney failure and had a stroke on my right eye that left me disabled and unable to work full time, which I was doing up until that point. My eye is better now but it is not recommended that I go back to the stress of a full time job because my high blood pressure is affected mainly by stress. I have been trying different therapies in hopes that my kidney function will return but nothing has worked so far. I recently discovered a new treatment that is called stem cell therapy that will regenerate my kidneys and return me to full health. The therapy has been tried on other dialysis patients who have been able to stop dialysis after their kidneys have been regenerated through the stem cells, but this therapy is not currently covered by insurance and as I stated earlier, I am unable to work in order  to prevent future strokes, so there is no way for me to afford this treatment. I have decided to put my faith at work and give this treatment a try, but I cannot do it alone. I am asking you to help me put an end to this 5 year long battle with kidney failure. According to statistics 60% of dialysis patients die 5 years after starting dialysis, I have already reached that mark, dialysis is so hard on my body and every treatment I undergo decreases my chances to survive even more.
I have high hopes that this journey with dialysis will soon come to an end and I will return back to full health. Thank you for reading my story, any help is truly appreciated, God Bless you!!
