Don't Let Kidney Disease Kill Dreams

Hello, I'm Natalie Patrice and i'm 25 years old with stage 4 chronic kidney disease. I found out back in 08' that i had this disease and back then I didn't think much of it. Now at 5 years later i'm one stage away from dialysis. I haven't been able to keep a job due to always being fatigued and suffering from constant pain an nausea. My kidneys function at 29% and i have to wait until 20% to be considered for a new kidney. I get slowly worse each year so 9% will be here before i know it. I filed for disability with my state, and of course i have been denied. Now comes the long battle with SSA. They believe because i am young im really not disabled, smh who makes these rules, healthy people who have never been sick? While I battle with SSA i still have medical expenses and every day bills piling up. I have been trying to start my own business as a professional makeup artist but even that has been crippled by my illness. My goal is to raise enough money to help me survive during this 6 month battle my lawyer is telling me im going to have with SSA, iv'e already waited 6 months just to be denied. I know times are hard for everyone, but if you can donate a $1 or $100 it makes a huge difference. I appreciate each of you for taking the time to read my story, even if you cant donate please spread the word and share my story.
