Help Liz Fight Rare Kidney Disease

Help Liz Fight Rare Kidney Disease and Stay on the Road to Recovery

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Supporters,

I’m reaching out to share the story of my dear friend Liz, a 46-year-old single mother who has spent her life serving others in Social Services. She has always been there for those in need, but now it’s our turn to be there for her. Liz is facing a battle that no one saw coming, and she needs our help to get through it.

In June, Liz was living a healthy, active life. But by the end of October, everything changed. She was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure due to a rare and aggressive disease called Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis (FGN). FGN is a rare kidney disease that causes inflammation and damage to the glomeruli—the tiny filters in the kidneys. Just two weeks later, on November 5th, Liz was hospitalized and told that she was already in stage 4 kidney failure.

FGN is a rapidly progressing condition, and there is no proven cure. Most patients diagnosed with FGN will eventually progress to end-stage renal disease, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, and often within just a few years. Liz’s doctors are working hard to manage her symptoms, but the situation remains critical, and the road ahead is uncertain.

Along with the emotional and physical toll of the disease, Liz is facing additional challenges—financial strain and unreliable transportation. Her current vehicle is not dependable, and with frequent trips to doctors, specialists, and clinical trials, she needs a reliable way to get to her appointments. Without a reliable vehicle, it will be extremely difficult for Liz to get the care she needs, especially as she travels across state lines for a critical clinical trial.

This is where your support can make a world of difference.

We are asking for donations to help cover the following urgent needs:

Medications: Liz requires medications that are not covered by insurance, and these are crucial for managing her condition.

Travel expenses: She must travel long distances for medical appointments and clinical trials, and we are hoping to help her with travel and vehicle expenses so she can continue her treatment without additional stress.

Reliable vehicle: Liz desperately needs a reliable vehicle to get to her medical appointments and clinical trials safely and on time.

Medical appointments and treatments: Liz will need ongoing treatments, doctor visits, and tests, all of which come with significant costs.

Dietary needs: Special dietary requirements for her kidney condition that are necessary to support her health.

Your donation, no matter how small, will help alleviate some of the financial burden and ensure Liz can get the care she desperately needs. We’re also asking for prayers, encouragement, and emotional support—as Liz faces this difficult journey, knowing that she has a community of people rooting for her will mean the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read Liz's story and for considering any form of support you can offer. Whether it's a donation, a message of hope, or helping spread the word, your kindness and generosity will have a profound impact on her ability to fight this disease with strength and determination.

With deep gratitude and love,

Jessica

Her Longtime Friend
