Help Jess with her Medical Situation!!
Donation protected
Hi everyone! Alexa Georgakopoulos and I are posting on behalf of Jess Lam. Here is her story:
I am an alumni of Bridgewater State University, currently going for my Master’s at Northeastern University and an alum of Phi Sigma Sigma. In January 2023, I got sick and went to the hospital where later on, I was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure (ESRD). It all happened so quickly and very unexpectedly. Currently, I am on dialysis where I go three times a week and I am in need of a kidney transplant. My life got flipped upside down upon my diagnosis and it has been quite the journey adjusting to this new life and learning to cope with my kidney these past few months. Currently, I am unable to continue with my classes and unable to work. I am on the transplant list and will be on dialysis treatment for the foreseeable future until I can receive a transplant.
I still have a lot of bills that I am responsible for such as medical bills and school.
The waiting list for a kidney transplant can be around 3 to 5 years or sometimes even longer. If anyone is interested or knows anyone interested in becoming a Live kidney donor, my blood type is O positive and you can call the transplant clinic at Umass Memorial in Worcester, Massachusetts to get more information on getting evaluated to be a potential donor.

Your time and support mean the absolute world to Jess. Please feel free to share, any help we can provide Jess will make a huge impact.
