Adam Crow's Kidney Fund

Donation protected
My name is Candyce Folds, and I have set this up to hopefully help my best friends family with the medical bills and expenses that they have encountered.  Her name is Ashley Crow 31 years old and her husband is Adam Crow 33 years old, he is very sick right now.  He has been diagnosed with RPGN(Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis).  This is a rare kidney disease that is very difficult to diagnose, it comes on very suddenly and does a lot of damage very quickly and in a short period of time.  Today they found out that he has lost  over 90% kidney function, and he will need a kidney trasplant.  He was just released from the hospital, and will have to travel back and forth to Auburn 3 times a week for dialysis.  So far with the dialysis, which he has had  for 4 days in a row this week, they have taken off more than 25 lbs of fluid and toxins. Without the transplant he will never be able to come off of dialysis. He is going to be set up with at home dialysis eventually. He is no longer able to work, and he has been the sole income provider for his family of 4.  He has been married to Ashley for over 11 years, and they have 2 gorgeous kids together, a daughter that is 11 and a son that is 8.  
His wife, Ashley, has had several medical problems of her own and hasn't been able to work.  Just last year she had to have a spinal cord stimulator placed to help relieve the unbearable back pain that she had on a daily basis.  She had a very rough recovery from it, and is just now starting to get back to normal.  She is now going to be his caretaker, and driving him back and forth to all his doctor appointments and dialysis.  She is going to have a hard time finding work that will allow her the time off she needs to help him.  She is a certified respiratory therapist, and is looking for work, even if it is just part time.  
The funds raised for this family will be used on medical expenses, mortgage, utilities, food, and gas for traveling to and from appointments.  I hope to start raising the funds ASAP.  
This is very near and dear to me, Ashley is like my sister, we have been best friends since our first year of college.  I want to help them in every way possible, but I can't do much finacially as I have my own family.  I love their kids like they are my own, and I can't even imagine what they are going through.  So if we could all pull together and help relieve some of the financial stress, that would be absolutely amazing.  Any amount of donation would be greatly accepted, and I hope that everyone will share this with everyone they know.  Social media can be an amazing tool, so lets use it to spread the word!!!
