Hey fellow ODTers,
I wasn't going to say anything on this forum but I guess I had a change of heart. My wife and I have been together since high school. We have been together over 24 years and married for the last 18. We have a 16 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. My daughter has kidney disease since birth. She has never needed dialysis. She was really sick on thanksgiving last year. Hospitalized for 5 days and was septic. Thank The Lord that He saw fit to heal her at that time. The doctors say it's time for a kidney transplant. I am the 1st one to volunteer and we have several others right behind me to see if I can give up my kidney for her. I have passed all the tests thus far. I have a full evaluation May 21st. The second donor goes for eval on May 28th. We will have a date set by mid June.
The transplant procedure costs over 500K. We have a goal to raise 40k through an non-profit organization called COTA (Children's Organ Transplant Association) All donations are 100% tax deductible. They have also set up a webpage for my little girl. You ODT community members are free to go check out her page.

There will be all kinds of fundraising efforts to help her financially. Her meds, after insurance, will cost about 7-8k a year for the rest of her life. Praise The Lord that He gives us spare kidneys to be able to donate to those in need. I appreciate you allowing me a chance to speak up. We update her webpage as often as we can. Thank you for your prayers and support.
Sincerely,
Scott (shootin4fun)
Matthew 18:19,20
Ps If I happen to be the donor, I will be out of work for 6-8 weeks for recovery. My company supports me and my family wholeheartedly but funds will be short for me as well. I'm trying for a short term disability but haven't heard anything yet. God is my provider.
