The Medical Journey of the Boyd Family

We are reaching out to you with open hearts and hopeful spirits, inviting you to join us on a journey of resilience, love, and community.

Meet Anthony:

• Age: 32

• A warrior battling Type 1 Diabetes for 30 years

• Father to 3.5-year-old twins with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism and more.

• Out of work for 4 months, since starting dialysis for Stage 5 Kidney Failure

• Undergoes dialysis treatment three days a week, for 3.5 hours and is awaiting a lifesaving transplant

• Humble, hard-working family man with a heart of gold

The Story Unfolds:

In the face of overwhelming challenges, Anthony has been on a courageous journey, now navigating the complexities of dialysis while being a devoted father to his incredible twins. Despite his unwavering spirit, the financial strain has hit hard. Anthony's savings have been depleted, and with his wife, Leiah, working tirelessly as the sole breadwinner, they find themselves at a crossroads.

The Heart of the Matter:

Anthony, known for his humility and selflessness, finds it challenging to ask for help. This is where we come in as a community, extending our hands to lift up a family that has always been there for others. Together, we can be the support system they need during this critical time.

How You Can Make a Difference:

1. Donate: Your contribution will directly impact Anthony's ability to cover medical expenses, day-to-day needs, bills, mortgage, and the high costs of daycare during his dialysis appointments. Donate here or at a local LCCU branch.

2. Share: Spread Anthony's story far and wide. Your voice has the power to reach those who can make a meaningful difference.

3. Support: Leave a message of encouragement for Anthony and his family. Let them know they are not alone in this journey.

4. Looking to the Future: Anthony's return to work is tied to a successful kidney transplant, and the waiting game is both emotionally and financially draining. Despite applying for assistance, the family hasn't received the support they desperately need due to the prolonged process.

For those willing to make the ultimate gift, Anthony is in need of a kidney donor. Learn more about becoming a living donor at www.sacredheartlivingdonor.org

Join us in rallying around Anthony, Leiah, and their brave twins. Together, let's ease their burdens and provide the support they need to face the future with hope.

Thank you for being the beacon of light this family needs during their darkest hours.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Friends and Family of Anthony Sterling Boyd
