My mom is in great need of a kidney. She began dialysis in September of 2021. This means that she had a surgery that implanted a tube onto her torso that connects to a large machine every night in order to filter her kidneys. I am asking friends, family, and our community to help in one of three ways: 1. Consider donating a kidney to my mom 2 . Help me spread the word by sharing this website 3. Donate to https://helphopelive.org/ to help my mom pay for out-of-pocket expenses not covered under insurance Please read all the sections of this website for more information.
MY MOM <3 My mom has worked full-time at Raytheon for 30+ years while raising three children and being an active member of the mariachi community (a full-time role within itself). She hoped to retire from the demanding work at Raytheon and open her own business, volunteer, travel, spend time with her children/grandchild. Instead, she cannot leave work due to the medical bills associated with this disease and she cannot engage in part-time/volunteer work due to the conditions of medical disability. She placed her health first and chose to accept the conditions of disability, but as a woman who was always was engaged in some endeavor, she struggles with the day-to-day monotony and wants to be healthy again so she can live on her own terms.
