Kidneys and Bergers Disease

Greetings dear friends 🤍


10 years ago, my brother-in-law’s life changed devastatingly and permanently. His immune system decided to wage war against his own self, and successfully attacked and destroyed its “enemy”. The target? His own kidneys. He was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss syndrome, actually a very, very rare autoimmune disorder, and given a kidney transplant, which allowed him to live a relatively normal life.


For a time.


Until things again went wrong.


This time, his doctors think he was likely misdiagnosed before, as the previous disease would have burned out after its mission was accomplished (the destruction of his kidneys). Since his transplant is now under attack and his kidney is again being destroyed again by his immune system, he has been diagnosed with something new. Bergers disease. Also an extremely rare condition. And even more destructive, as it comes back again and again.


The medication required for this new disease is extremely expensive. Your donation would go towards the first month of treatment until his insurance decides if it will cover it or not. Please consider donating, and supporting this kind soul who has already been through so much difficulty and persistent suffering in his 30 years of life.


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🤍
