PLEASE HELP
My name is Honey and I have a story. It is not the saddest story,
yet it’s mine. I have been working since my father died when
I was 13 years old. My mother worked 3 jobs so that my brother and
I would not have to go on public assistance.
My father died from a genetic disease called Polycystic Kidneys.
(http://www.pkdcure.org) This is when Cysts grow all over the kidneys
and get so big that they overpower the kidneys until they cannot
work anymore. All of my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my father’s
side have died from this disease at the age of 42 and younger. I
was told that my brother Jeff would die if I did not donate one
of my kidneys to him. We were the only survivors of our family because
of this terminal disease and I was his only hope. Unfortunately,
that is how I found out that I also have Polycystic Kidney Disease
and could not help him. He sadly passed away.
I have been working as a single parent holding down 2 jobs as a
waitress. Within the last 3 weeks, I have had 2 operations and have
another major operation in a month. My kidneys are so large they
weigh over 40 pounds and must be removed because there is no room
in my body for them. Once the operation is complete, I will have
no kidneys and will have to live on dialysis, while waiting for
a transplant. I can no longer waitress, as I have done all my life.
To have a deadly disease is difficult enough, but to know that I
have passed it on to my only child, is an unbearable guilt. This
is what my son has to look forward to shortly.
I have lived my whole life depending on myself and supporting my
son. I never asked anyone for anything. In fact, if someone ever
needed help from me I was always there financially and emotionally.
Unfortunately, I now have to ask for help. If you could spare any
amount of money, even if only $5, it would make my life a little
easier. At the very least it will help solve some financial problems
so I can focus on my health. All I have now is hope. If you can
help financially it would be most appreciated. If you cannot, then
your prayers are more then enough. Thank you and God bless all.
Sincerely,
Honey Starr
