Title: Help Me Get a Life-Saving Kidney Transplant!
Introduction:
My name is Collins Yemi, a 60-year-old African American man in desperate need of a lifesaving kidney transplant. I depend on dialysis three times a week just to stay alive.
My doctors have told me that a kidney transplant is my only hope for a longer, healthier life, but the costs are overwhelming.
I humbly reach out to you for support. Time is running out, and your kindness could be the difference between life and death.
My Story
For over three years, I’ve battled chronic kidney disease. Despite my resilience, my kidneys have failed, and doctors say a transplant is my only hope for survival.
I’ve battled this illness while watching my strength, savings, and independence fade away. Dialysis keeps me alive, but it’s exhausting, painful, and not a permanent solution. I’ve been placed on a long transplant waiting list, but after years of waiting, I’ve finally been blessed with a living donor—a miracle that gives me real hope.
But there’s one heartbreaking obstacle: I can’t afford the transplant or the care I’ll need afterward.
As a brother, son, and community member, I’ve always strived to care for my family, contribute to my community, and overcome challenges. But now, I’m unable to work, care for loved ones, or live without dialysis.
The Financial Hurdle
Without health insurance, the cost of a kidney transplant is staggering—approximately $35,000.00 for surgery, hospital stays, medications, and aftercare. Despite my efforts, I cannot afford this alone. My family has sacrificed greatly, but we’ve hit a wall.
Why I Need Your Help
I’m turning to the kindness of strangers, friends, and anyone moved by my plea. No amount is too small—every dollar brings me closer to surgery and a second chance at life. I’m facing impossible expenses:
• Surgery & hospital fees
• Anti-rejection medications (which I’ll need for life)
• Post-transplant care & recovery costs
• Transportation to medical appointments
I’ve exhausted all my savings, and my condition makes it impossible to work. I have no safety net left.
This Is My Only Chance
With a donor ready and a transplant team willing to help, time is critical. If I can raise the funds, I can finally get off dialysis, regain my strength, and have a second chance at life.
How You Can Help
• Donate—Every dollar brings me closer to surgery.
• Share—Please spread my story on social media.
• Pray—If you can’t give, your prayers and encouragement mean the world.
I don’t want to die waiting when the solution is within reach. With your kindness, I can finally receive the transplant I desperately need.
My Promise
If I’m blessed to reach my goal, I vow to pay this generosity forward by advocating for organ donation, supporting others in need, or sharing my story to inspire hope.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you for being my miracle.
With gratitude,
Yemi Collins.
