This is my daughter, Dessie. She is eight years old. In May of 2016, she was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage Four.Her kidney f
This is the October 2018 edition of this post, and hopefully the final version.
Dessie is now ten years old. Yay!! For the last two years, she’s held steady at 22% total kidney function, in Stage Four Chronic Kidney Disease. At her last nephrologist visit, her creatinine has gone up. She says she’s tired all the time.
We think she’s tipping over to Stage 5 CKD/End Stage Renal Disease. Her next visit to the nephrologist is in December, and I’m expecting to get the diagnosis then. If not, great! But I’m not hopeful.
I think we’ll need to make another trip to Seattle Chikdren’s Hospital then, so they can run their own labs and make her active on the deceased donor transplant list. Normally, I’ve been told by them, once a child is active on the last, they typically receive a donor kidney within six months to a year. So I think 2019 will be her year of the transplant. Possibly dialysis before then — I know her local nephrologist wants to avoid it if we can.
The transplant itself requires we stay in Seattle for three to four months, with frequent follow ups afterwards. (First every month, then every two months, then every three months.). Each trip by car takes 6.5-8 hours each way, and usually two tanks of gas. Special Mobilty Services can help with gas, and lodging, if we can give them two weeks notice.
The transplant will be a journey in every sense of the word. I would love it if this could be fully funded before then.
If you have a spare kidney and want to try to be her living donor, here’s the Donors need to between 21-45, in reasonably good health, and O+ blood type. No smoking or drinking alcohol, not even occasionally. If this is something you’re interested, please contact the University of Washington’s living donor program at 206-598-3627, and mention you’re interested in donating to Dessie McAdams. That begins the process.
I’m a single mom, with three kids. To deal with my hideous finances which have put us in the negative regularly since May of 2017, to get us back on our feet, we are moving in with my mother for at least the next year. Perhaps longer; she hasn’t put a deadline on it. I think I’m going to have to declare bankruptcy to get our from under, which will tank my already bad credit score. So I’m not sure of our prospects afterwards; if I could, I’d rather buy a place than rent, but even renting will be hard, with bad credit and high rents.
In the most immediate future, we need about $300-500 through October to either rent a dumpster or hire a junk hauling service to clear out the backyard, garage, and basement. There’s a lot of heavy stuff my mom and I can’t handle.
This move to my mom’s also gets us away from my ex and his family, and Imbin the process of getting the parenting agreement modified to supervised visitation. He molested Dessie, by her account, sometime while we were married, around when she was 4-5. (I reported it to CPS and the police as soon as I learned of this, but as it was some years after it occurred, there was no evidence and they did nothing).
He’s also verbally and emotionally abused all of us.
His family may decide to bring in a lawyer for him with the requested change in parenting plan; I don’t know.
I guess what I’m saying is, once we move we’ll be doing better than we have in a long while. But help is still needed. A miracle, even, if it could be so, to get us through her transplant and from there to a safe place to live independently. Please get this fully funded (or more) as soon as possible, if it can be done.
If you don’t want to use the GoFundMe, that’s fine. We also have
Hello everyone, I am Khrys. I am a buffalo born and raised youth mentor, poet and electronic musician.

Im sorry I have to make one of these
my partner hasnt been getting paid on top of the slumlord getting ready to evict us because they are selling property to move out to the suburbs
no offense but if this was a white trans man’s post it would have 10,000+ notes already. if you can take 2 minutes out of your day to watch her video on gofundme, share, and/or donate, all of those 2 minutes put together will add up to something meaningful for someone who really needs the support right now.
I don't know if you meant it literally but I'm religious and I absolutely will be praying for you and your wellbeing, I hope your situation gets better soon
I know I made this post like 5 times already but can I have some money so I can leave my house before my homo/transphobic extended family comes for christmas? My paypal is [email protected], please ignore my deadname
Hey not to be the 500th person to beg for money in the last week but it turns out my mom took more money out of my account to pay for my sibling’s medical bills than she said she was going to and since I am 1. Currently out of a job because I am 2. taking care of said sibling I have no way to pay my bank back for the foreseeable future and now I am 500+ dollars in debt lol so if you could throw a couple pennies my way so I can get out of this mess I would be eternally grateful paypal.me/arukitai ignore the deadname etc etc thank you and god bless
