Hi, my name is Doug. I'm raising funds to help cover the costs of my kidney transplant at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

I've been approved by the medical department and cleared by insurance. Now I'm facing the final hurdle: the finance department requires me to meet a threshold to cover all the costs I'll be responsible for.

I'm already struggling to pay as I go now. After the transplant, I'll need to cover transportation to appointments, different medicines, and anti-rejection drugs that I'll need to take for my entire life. I'll also have home health care for thirty days following the surgery, plus ongoing visits at home after that.

My mother had her transplant surgery at the same age and went on to live a healthy and happy life for over 30 years. Your support would mean so much to me and my family. Thank you, and may God bless you and yours.
