Support Ammon Bennett's Kidney Transplant Journey

A Kidney has been found and my surgery is set for December 6th at the University of Utah. I cannot begin to tell everyone how grateful I am. I'm extremely nervous and anxious for this but I know in the end I will get my life back. My sister Valerie started this process by donating her own kidney on my behalf which gave me a kidney voucher moving up the process by years. This will no doubt be a challenging process for me and my family and any donation would be greatly appreciated.

My name is Ammon Bennett. The picture you're looking at is of my angel sister. You see, she has decided to save my life. Diabetes and COVID-19 have caused me to have kidney failure, so my sister Valerie, on July 11th, underwent surgery and donated one of her kidneys. Words cannot adequately express how moved I've been with this selfless act of charity and love.

For me, dialysis at times has been challenging and with my impending college soccer season approaching, my anxiety is at an all-time high. I love to coach, I know nothing else. I'm asking the coaching world, colleagues, and former players to please donate. If not for me, but for my dearest sister. Her putting herself in harm's way for me is overwhelming. If you know my sister Valerie Yates, you know what an amazing person and teacher she is. Medical bills will be high and time away from work will create a significant loss of income. My own surgery will take place shortly after my college season concludes in November. Thank you all for your support. To my family, I love you. My angel sisters have saved my life. To my mother, your many prayers have been felt. And to my brothers, your humor has kept me sane.

Thank you, Ammon Bennett, Head Women's Soccer Coach, Casper College.
