Please Help My Daughter Keep Fighting

Hello everyone,

I am writing this with a heart full of love, fear, and desperation for my 12 year-old daughter.

Since the age of just 8, she has been fighting end-stage kidney failure, a devastating illness that has forced her to undergo dialysis three times every single week for years. While most young people her age are building their futures and experiencing life, my daughter has spent her years fighting simply to stay alive.

But her struggle does not end there.

My daughter is profoundly deaf in both ears due to the treatments. Imagine having to endure years of painful and exhausting medical treatments while living in a world of silence. Communicating with doctors, nurses, medical staff, and even the people around her has always been incredibly difficult.

And now, her health has deteriorated to an even more heartbreaking point.

Her Body Is Exhausted

My daughter is now completely wheelchair-bound and bedridden. She can no longer walk independently and can barely sit upright. Most of her days are spent lying in bed, with me caring for her around the clock.

Her condition has also affected her breathing. She now requires continuous supplemental oxygen to help her breathe.

She is only 12 years old.

It is incredibly painful for me to watch someone so young become so dependent on others for even the simplest things. I am single mom working on nightshifts and at the same time caring for her, constantly helping her move, managing her oxygen, assisting with her daily needs, and staying by her side around the clock.

Every week, we faces the enormous challenge of getting my daugter to her dialysis treatments three times a week. Because she is bedridden, wheelchair-bound, and dependent on oxygen, ordinary cars and taxis are no longer suitable or safe for her.

She requires specialized wheelchair-accessible medical transportation or private ambulance services, which come at a very high cost.

On top of transportation, there are ongoing expenses for medical oxygen, medications, medical equipment, dialysis-related needs, and everyday living costs.

Despite doing everything we can, these expenses have become an overwhelming for me.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference to my daughters life.

The funds raised will help us:

1. Pay for safe, specialized medical transportation** to and from her dialysis treatments three times a week.

2. Maintain her supply of medical oxygen and essential medications.

3. Purchase and maintain necessary medical equipment for her daily care.

4. Reduce the overwhelming financial burden of her ongoing medical and daily care

My daughter has already endured more than anyone her age should ever have to face.

She has spent years undergoing dialysis. She has lost her ability to walk. She lives with profound deafness. She is now bedridden and dependent on oxygen just to breathe.

Yet she is still here.

She is still fighting.

And we want to keep fighting for her too.

If you are able to donate, please know that your kindness will go directly toward helping our family care for my daughter and continue getting her the treatment and support she desperately needs.

If you are unable to donate, please share this campaign with your friends, family, colleagues, and anyone who may be willing to help.

Even a single share could reach someone who can make a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read my daughter's story, for caring about someone you may have never met, and for helping us give her the chance to keep fighting.

May every act of kindness come back to you and your loved ones many times over.
