Long story short. My longtime friend and co-blogger is having a hard time. He has always suffered from kidney problems, and a few years ago had to go on disability. He requires dialysis to live. His last kidney transplant failed. He has so far had two of them, as far as I know.
He fell in love a few years ago and she was his dialysis tech. He relied on her, and let her take care of him. To keep his disability he couldn’t do very much work. She spent all kinds of money behind his back and broke them, then blamed it on him. I don’t know all those details, but they broke up and he has no home now. He has a nine year old boy to take care of and needs dialysis. He has no vehicle, and no home. He isn’t the begging type…a very independent type person…however he had a dark moment recently and had thoughts of ending it by not having his treatments. We got him out of that muck, but we need to help him get on his own two feet. He needs a vehicle to get a job to get a home, etc. He needs a little help.
We have someone that volunteered to give their motor home to Kender. However, we need to get it from Florida to California. We are hoping for an old fashioned daisy chain effort and looking for anyone that can help.
We have an offer to help out from Alabama, and another from Dallas, Texas, and Kender’s dad is in Arkansas – and he’s willing to pitch in. The motor home will take about a quart of oil a day traveling that far, and I’m not sure about gas mileage, but these are all things that will cost – but it’s the cheapest route to get it to where it needs to go. Perhaps we could find some volunteers in your readers?
We also put his donation button on this post. If a few people were able to pitch in 5 bucks we could scrap together enough to get him back on his own two feet. Please consider sharing with your readers for whatever help they might be willing to offer. Thanks, Jay
done…sent cash. anyone that can do the same should….kender has done such great work all along.
Don’t know who this is, but I donated anyway. I figure if Kate is helping to spread the message, it must be a good cause
