Support Shannon Reynolds' Fight Against Kidney Disease

My name is Amanda, and I am reaching out today with a heartfelt request for help on behalf of my brother’s partner, Shannon Reynolds, who is currently battling end-stage kidney disease.

Shannon has been living with kidney disease her entire life. Over the years, her kidney function has gradually declined, and last fall, she received the devastating news that her condition had reached end-stage. This means that, without a kidney transplant or ongoing dialysis, her kidneys will soon no longer be able to function on their own.

Shannon is now on the National Transplant List, but finding a match can take years, and the waiting process can be incredibly taxing on both her health and her family. With this in mind, our hope is to find Shannon a living kidney donor, which would dramatically improve her chances of surviving and regaining her health. If you would like to learn more about becoming a potential donor, or if you know someone who may be interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your willingness to share this page could also make all the difference in increasing our chances of finding a match.

In addition to the search for a donor, Shannon is facing significant financial challenges related to her treatment as she will be unable to work during that time. The costs for dialysis (if needed), medications, doctor visits, transportation to and from appointments, daily living expenses, and the eventual transplant surgery are overwhelming. After the surgery, there will be months of recovery and post-surgery care.

We are asking for your generous support to help cover these mounting medical expenses and daily living costs. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward helping Shannon. We truly believe that, with your help, we can find a donor and give Shannon a chance to fight this disease and begin to heal. The road ahead is long, but we know that together, we can make a life-changing difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Shannon’s story and for considering a donation. Your kindness, support, and willingness to share this page mean the world to Shannon, her family, my family, and me. We will be forever grateful for your generosity.

If you have any questions, would like more information, or prefer to donate in another way, please feel free to contact me directly.

With deepest gratitude,

Amanda Macomber
