Dante's Fight for a New Kidney
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
First of all I would like to give a big thank you to everyone who has supported me and fought with me in the last 5 years of my journey. My name is Dante, I'm 24 and I need a kidney transplant! I have a disease called FSGS, it pretty much means my kidneys do not filter waste out of my blood , it also means I don't make urine. With me not being able to make urine means I have to do dialysis 3 times a week for three and a half hours to filter out any waste inside me. I've been on dialysis for almost 5 years and in those 5 years , I almost had a stroke, heart attack and my kidneys could have shut down when I first started dialysis. Three years later I had my first seizure and broke both of my shoulders during the seizure. After my shoulders healed I moved out on my own and have been doing ok living on my own. I was recently added to the Jacksonville Florida mayo clinic transplant list. I was told since I've been on dialysis so long that I would hopefully go to the top of the list . the only way I can get the call that I need is to be financially stable for two month. My financial cost for the first month is about 1500 dollars. This covers medicines and all expenses that I would have for the time that I am down in Florida. I'm really hoping and praying that this time is my time!
