Hi, I am trying to raise funds for my husband's kidney transplant. This will be Ben's 3rd transplant. He almost died in 2022 due to Covid and Pneumonia which led to his 2nd transplanted kidney to fail. PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I am trying to raise funds for my husband's kidney transplant. This will be Ben's 3rd transplant. He almost died in 2022 due to Covid and Pneumonia which led to his 2nd transplanted kidney to fail. He is now on dialysis which is unbelievably difficult on the body and we will be traveling to various transplant centers to try to get him on the kidney transplant list. He was denied by Strong memorial due to the complexity of a 3rd transplant. This was enormously difficult to hear but after the initial blow I decided we weren't giving up. That being said I have contacted re-transplant specialist centers across the US. I will be evaluated as well to donate in the paired donation or swap program. Unfortunately I am not the same blood type so I can not give him my kidney but god willing I can donate to get him one a bit quicker. Traveling to these centers for our evaluations will be costly so anything you could donate would be tremendously appreciated. This process will give Ben a new lease on life.

Thanks and God Bless!
