This is my story, Chronic kidney failure, final stage.

Help me live

Hello, I am a 20-year-old Mexican girl, and I have stage 5 kidney failure (soon on dialysis). It all starts in 2018 when I was studying in high school, at this point everything was normal but suddenly, my body began to feel tired and I became agitated, my urine was foamy to which my parents took me to take a test which showed that I had protein in my urine and possibly there was kidney damage, which turned out to be yes, so my parents contacted a pediatric nephrologist who began treating me with oral medication, everything was very hard for me since I was only 13 years old and began to see the hospital as my "second home" at the same time I was treated for strabismus with an ophthalmologist, this ended my spirits, on July 8, 2019 the most painful loss of my life arises since my father died of Guillain-Barre syndrome, to which my mother and I were vulnerable, and everything became difficult since the medication was not helping so we changed nephrologists which was expensive and my mom was the one who always had to take out the money, in August 2019 I had my strabismus surgery, but this generated a mild gleucoma which I am still treating today.

After the loss of my father, the following consecutive years we continued in treatment, and in June 2022 I suffered sexual abuse until December 2022 when we legally migrated to the United States since it was very necessary for the aforementioned reasons.

In 2023 I was seen by my current nephrologist in Seattle, who performed studies and gave me treatment, due to my illness in this same year I lost too much weight since everything I ingested I vomited and it made me dizzy, this same year I had a history of my heart with chest pain and irregular heartbeats and most of my time I was always in the emergency room which you can imagine, my bill was very expensive which has cost us until today to continue paying. This same year I also started high school and graduated in 2024. In October 2024 I went to my regular appointment, to which the doctor told me it was time to think I was on dialysis and obviously on transplants, but he preferred the transplant, and thanks to him I received classes on replacement treatments. I went to an appointment at the transplant clinic, which required me to bring a caregiver to my next appointment, and I don't have anyone, and obviously I can't afford to pay someone specialized, my mom would say, but she has to go out to work to help me and help herself. She is diabetic and hypertensive and paying someone is difficult, since she is the one who pays all the bills since we have no other financial support, as always it has only been her and me.

I long to be able to complete a university degree, and help my mom, be independent, I have goals and dreams that I want to fulfill, I want to improve myself in every way, be better. To be honest, I have always been someone who tried hard in the educational field, but lately I feel very tired in every way, the disease is treating me badly

I'm not here to generate pity, it's something I really need and it would help me a lot. Thank you

The accumulated funds will be used to cover my medical and bill expenses, since as I mentioned, my mom is in charge of working and paying for everything and to be honest, her salary is not enough to cover the needs, sometimes not even for the entire month

Thank you for your support
