This is specifically for expenses that will probably arise when my daughter receives her kidney transplant (whether living or deceased). It’s a three to four month stay across the state; even if her brothers and our dog end up staying with my mom or with a trustworthy sitter, it’s essentially maintaining two separate households for a quarter of the year. Even staying at the Ronald McDonald House (as I plan to), living expenses (like groceries) will come up. If possible, the Ronald McDonald House requests $20/night from people staying there. I’ve already run into unexpected co-pays from labs.

So as always, if you can donate that’s greatly appreciated; if you can’t, a reblog is also great. Share this far and wide on your social media if you can.

I have deleted my other post and campaign to consolidate with this one. (And I greatly appreciate everyone who donated and shared that one).

People are also stepping forward to see if they’re a possible donor match, and that’s wonderful. Hopefully that’ll make this happen sooner rather than later, or at least on a manageable schedule, if it happens. Donors need to between 21-45, in reasonably good health, and O+ blood type. If this is something you’re interested, please contact the University of Washington’s living donor program at 206-598-3627, and mention you’re interested in donating to Dessie McAdams. That begins the process.

She is now officially on the transplant list! She is on-hold status, accruing time. They want to do some more bladder studies, their nephrologist wants to take out her less functional kidney and is going to consult with her local nephrologist about whether to take it out prior to transplant or during, and she needs some additional vaccines.

We’re in the prep stage, basically.

Thank you so much everyone who has donated, reblogged and shared this! Please continue to keep this circulating.

Please, please keep boosting and circulating this. My children no longer want to see my ex-husband, and I am afraid he will follow through on the eviction threats he and his family have made since I initiated divorce.

Fucking help with this people!
