Help Justin recover! Finances impacted by dialysis
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Justin Raines. I’ve started a Go Fund Me fundraiser to help me financially because my transplanted kidney has failed. After 9 and a half years of a successful kidney transplant, unfortunately, the kidney has failed. Because of this, I am back on dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours each time. This interferes with my work schedule as I traveled a lot for business. As my body is getting more acclimated to dialysis I do plan on working and attempting to live life with this new normal. For those that don't know my story, I was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease called MPGN (Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis) in 2007. It's an autoimmune disease that attacks the kidneys. For 2 years (from 2007-2009) I was a test subject because the doctors couldn't figure out why my kidneys were failing. So I went through so many procedures, I lost my pigmentation, gained weight, etc. In 2009 I had no choice but to start dialysis. I stayed on dialysis for 4 years until I was blessed with a kidney transplant on November 16, 2013. That kidney has given me 9 and a half AMAZING years...and I'm grateful. But as I previously stated, my transplanted kidney has run its course. I'm asking for any amount you are comfortable with giving. To be transparent I've calculated an average of 3 months of needed finances while I'm getting used to this life...again. If you can't give, then I ask for your prayers and positive well wishes. Thank You and God Bless!
