My name is Ricardo Sandoval, I am a father of 4 and happily married. In 2011 I was diagnosed with End Stage Kidney Disease and placed on dialysis the day after Thanksgiving 2011. During these past 4 years I have been blessed with great family and friends who have kept me strong and got me to the best of health I could ever be in with my condition. I am now A+ healthy with kidneys that do not function so I MUST do dialysis 5 days a week to stay alive. I have a living Donor who has been confirmed a match and just has to complete a couple more tests before we can schedule the transplant.  We have learned the post-transplant lifetime medication is very expensive and out of pocket. With this being said we must turn to our loved ones and the beautiful people of this universe to help us achieve this successful transplant. ♡
