Tricia's kidney transplant fund

aloha kakou, 

I have always been extremely healthy, strong and active. While I was going through a  very stressful divorce from an intensely stressful marriage  over 20 years ago, my body blew up 100 lbs. With no lifestyle change. All these years I visited doctor's, holistic practitioners, hired personal trainers and tried every diet and eating plan out there with no success. I had symptoms of something for years not knowing they were symptoms. It wasn't until 2010 that I knew something was really wrong when my legs blew up so much I thought I had elephantitis. Doctor's still were not able to diagnose. I saw a program on medical mysteries of a personal trainer with the same symptoms I had and finally a smart emergency doctor did the right test. I went to my doctor telling him I thought it might be my kidney. He disagreed. Six months later a smart emergency doctor did the right test. I had nephrotic syndrome which meant the protein in my blood was leaking into my urine via the kidney causing swelling and unexplainable weight gain. I became ill, homeless and on an island barely knowing anyone. I have been in degrees of kidney failure since 2011. March of 2014 things started accelerating and now I am stage 5 kidney failure. I am in the process of kidney transplantation. I won't be able to work for awhile and there will be expenses, how much depending on who is my donor. I have donors from hawai'i and New Zealand as well as California who are yet to be tested. If a match, I will need to get them here. I need monetary help however large or small. Your help is appreciated very much.

Mahalo nui loa in advance. Tricia Mo'orea
