Kidney transplant for Carolina
Donation protected
Dear Family and Friends,
My wife Carolina Guttmann was diagnosed with Glomerulonephritis in May 2015 which resulted in total kidney loss.
After trying numerous treatments for nearly 2 years the damage was deemed irreversible. During the last 12 months, she has been undergoing hemodialysis, the most aggressive one, progressively depleting her of energy and further affecting her overall health.
Her only positive outlook to get a better quality of life is to get a kidney transplant.
The silver lining is that a matching donor is available, my sister-in-law, Susy, who has committed herself to a great act of sisterly love.
Everything is on track for surgery to take place within the next 3 months.
This campaign and your support will help us raise funds for anti-rejection drugs, co-insurance deductibles and related recovery expenses, for both Carolina and Susy, which are not covered by our insurance policies.
As many of you are aware, my job demands constant travel, therefore we will need to hire 24x7 assisted medical supervision for 6 weeks after the transplant as set forth by the hospital (Cleveland Clinic).
Our goal is to have the funds available prior to the surgery, expected to occur around the end of the first trimester of 2019.
All your loving contribution is very much needed and appreciated.
