Yvonne Smith Kidney Transplant Fund

Donation protected
Hello,

I am Yvonne Smith, Diabetic, diagnosed in 2001 with End Stage Renal Disease.  In May of 2004, I received a Pancreas and Kidney transplant.  On November 28, 2011 my Pancreas stopped functioning and now I am back on insulin and my Kidney is slowly shutting down.  I am now in dire need of a new Kidney, and in order to receive one I need to show that I will be able to pay my portion of the cost after the insurance company pays, in addition to my portion of the copays for the over 32 anti-rejection medications.  

Your generous support is requested in assisting me with raising funds for a second Kidney transplant operation.  My family and friends are putting together other fundraising events as well as this Go Fund Me Page.  On Saturday June 24, 2017 8:00 a.m. at the American Tobacco Trail near Southpoint Mall in Durham, N.C. a Run/Bike/Walk-a-Thon is being sponsored in my honor to raise funds for my transplant.  Registration is now open and will remain open until June 23, 2017. 

Thank you for your donation and prayers and giving me a fighting chance to not go back on dialysis.  My sister Marian Chance and sister-in-law Odilean Smith are coordinating the Run/Bike/Walk-a-Thon.  They can be reached by email at [email redacted]  or osmith[email redacted].

Thank you & God Bless!
