Rickey's Kidney and Pancreas Transplant

Hello! My name is October, I am Rickey's mother, and I am raising money to help pay for his kidney and pancreas transplant surgery. It started 25 years ago when Rickey was 11. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He called me in March this year and told me his doctor said he had kidney disease. Rickey went to the kidney specialist, who told him he had stage 4 kidney failure. He asked, "Well, doc, what do I need to do? I am superman, and I will beat this!" He also said, "God gave me big broad shoulders for a reason, and I will beat this." From that point on, he was referred to the Mayo Clinic for an evaluation for a kidney transplant. Now is the hardest part of finding a donor and the finances. The surgery is $500,000; his medical needs will also be costly.
