Please help Aunty Shirley get her transplant❣

Donation protected
My name is Shirley Owen Tuigamala. I am 49 years old. My family has a history of polycystic kidney disease. My mother, uncles and aunties passed away from the same disease. I was diagnosed in 2014 with Polycystic kidneys after my moms passing. 


Since then I have been in and out of hospitals. I started dialysis last year after covid19 lockdown and have been on dialysis since. I have gone through almost 30 catheters already due to ongoing infections. 


I've also had 4 fistula surgeries which all failed so continue to use the catheters. The veins on my neck are exhausted due to the multiple catheters. It has become very difficult to find my veins for new catheter every time I get an infection. 


With all options running out, my only hope is a transplant. I have 2 potential donors who are my nephew and a cousin brother. With the available donors we are now planning to take a trip to Manila for a possible transplant. 


With the cost of almost $100, 000, we are now seeking donations to assist with the medical and other expenses. 


Your donations will be highly appreciated to save a life. 


This is my story.
