Prayers and donations for Priyanka

Donation protected
Priyanka will be undergoing kidney-pancreas combined transplant surgery, the first of it's kind to be ever done on anyone from a cadaver in Mumbai. Until July 2018, she was a beautiful girl with a promising career. Little did she know that she will suffer from end stage Kidney failure and will be scouting for pancreas and kidney in hospitals. The life that she knew was over. She was incapacitated to work, her dreams of marriage was shattered and her appearance changed. I do not wish to disturb you with the details of what she goes through on a daily basis due to her present condition. Attaching her pictures from her good times and from her most trying days. Please help her end this misery.

Current Financial Status:
Was last working with Sanghvi Group of Companies as Product Manager. Incapacitated to work since December 2017. Since I’m not employed, I don’t have Corporate Medical Insurance. My Personal Medical Insurance Claim was rejected and they have refused to bear any expenses relating to Dialysis insisting that it’s linked to a pre-existing disease. Staying alone on rent for the last 2 years. Cost of hospitalization, Dialysis, Medicines, Diagnostic and Radiology tests for the last 1 year is more than INR 15 ,00,000  (USD 21,740). Had managed it through own personal savings and financial support from father.

Father suffered from a massive cardiac arrest in February 2018 and has been incapacitated to work but is still pulling through by working one day a week. My mother is a housewife. I manage to work from home occasionally but cannot commit to full time work due to dialysis schedules and constant body pain. 

This is my last resort and any help in any form is Highly appreciated...I will be eternally grateful to you. In all sincerity, I have Never asked for Donations for myself in the past and I truly intend to repay whenever possible.  

IMPORTANT MESSAGE -
ANAND AGARKAR is Priyanka Digambar's trustworthy friend in USA. As Gofundme requires USA/ Canadian contact info to be fed into the system, we had to enter his contact no. Also, Gofundme does not allow to enter Indian Bank Ac Details and hence we have entered Anand's  US bank details. Rest assured that the entire amount will reach the patient. This page is linked to Facebook page and you can easily find her in my friend's list and connect with her, if you wish to directly contact her. 
Anand will be transferring it to Priyanka through Remitly or Xoom.
