Help with Medical expenses

Hey yall, Im Melissa, the mama of Aarius who needs a Kidney Transplant.
This all started when he was 8. I took him to the emergency room, he was having what I thought was an allergic reaction. His poor little face was super swollen. Well after several hours, and needles, blood draws, bloodpressure issues. The doctors gave me the news that he has a kidney disease called Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis or (MPGN) for short. Its usually a secondary disease to something like Lupus. However, for Aarius he does not have it as a secondary disease, its the only disease he has. Which makes his condition rare. He went back into the hospital Nov 30th 2019 and stayed there 74 days. He spent 50 of those days in PICU. Where he had to undergo, several surgeries, one which included a Craniotomy, for a subdural haematoma. He also had to get a port in his neck for a dialysis. A couple kidney biopsies. He spent Christmas in the PICU. Fast forward to today, I have been lucky enough to be able to provide my baby a kidney and a new shot at life. I was tested over a period of months, to finally be able to say that I am a match to give my son this miracle on December 6th 2022.
I am asking this fundraiser to help with Medical expenses, and lost wages to be able to do this for him. To give him his childhood back. To be able for him to attend Highschool. If you can donate thank you so much. If you can not, please do not hesitate to share this. I appreciate all the support and love that has been shown.
