Kidney for Sydney

Donation protected
Hi my name is Nolan and I am raising money for my sister Sydney. Sydney was unfortunately diagnosed with chronic kidney failure back in April that has reduced her kidney function down to nothing. She has since started dialysis to help her sustain her normal life. This is obviously taken a toll on her life emotionally and physically. While our family tests to try and find a matching kidney, the financial toll of medication and dialysis has been wearing down on us. I have started this go fund me for the purpose of trying to help my sister afford this life change.  If you would like to donate to Sydney my family would be very appreciative of the help. Thank you for reading!
A message from Sydney:

My name is Sydney Dale and I am 20 years old.  I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Kidney disease and end stage kidney failure.  I didn’t know I was sick and back in April I was having severe side pains nausea and I was getting tired a lot. My doctor had my blood tested and it was discovered that my kidneys were barely functioning. I was in the hospital for 3 days for testing to see why my kidneys have slowy stopped functioning. The doctors still don’t know why but they seem to think it because I was born 8 weeks early due to me being a triplet.  My other 2 sisters kidneys are healthy and some day they would like to donate a kidney to me.  Since April I have been to countless doctor appointments and was placed on the Transplant list. My Cousin is currently being tested to be a possible kidney donor for me. I have also had to start Dialysis, the type of Dialysis I do is called Peritoneal Dialysis and it is not in a Dialysis center, I have a machine that I hook up to each night and the machine works with my body to keep my blood clean.  While all of this was going one I have been trying to keep going to college. I finished up my schooling in Oregon where I played Golf with a partial scholarship and finished my 2 years with a 3.2 GPA.  I was going to finish my next 2 years at University of Montana but with all the unknowns I decided to defer a year and get healthy and hopefully a kidney.  I am studying to be a geologist and would like to work in the National Park system.  When I am not in doctor appointments each week I work about 15 hours a week. I also enjoy riding my bike on the Centennial Trail with my dad, going to the library for geology books and playing my Xbox. I also enjoy visiting state and national parks. My parents like to go camping once a month and I enjoy spending that time with my family.   I appreciate you considering helping me.
