Where does the money go and what is it used for?!?

I wanted to explain the fundraiser that my sister is having. In Nebraska people love to golf and drink... so why not mix the two of them, and help me with medical bills?! Over the last year and a half I have been getting medical tests that cost thousands and thousands of dollars. These various tests tell me if i am ok to actually get a Kidney Transplant. They have to check my heart and make sure it can handle the upcoming stress... clear. They needed to also check my bones and bone density... good. I said to the doctor, "so i AM big boned? not fat... right? Ha ha!!" I mean they did every test to see if i was ok to follow through with such a surgery. So far, so good. Well, not really, i had to lose a crap ton of weight, but that has been taken care of as well.

Let's fast forward... my sister, friends, and family have learned of the costs that come with such a massive surgery. Yes, i do have medical insurance. Yes, i do have an income. But in case i get even more sick, or in case they are unable to find a donor, in case i have to stay in the hospital due to such things as infection, etc... i will have assistance already set aside. I am not a bad person. I rarely ask for help, but i may soon be in dire need.

A bank account has been set up at Security National Bank in Omaha. I will also be calling UNMC to see if people who want to help can directly send donations to them. I use this account at the bank for my thousands of uninsured dollars to the Nebraska Medical Center. As possible donors are reading this, please remember that I am also diabetic. I am also under medical care for Diabetes and have one hundred and twenty five dollars of prescriptions every month in addition to out of cost expenses.

Anyway, I wanted people to know that I am an honest person, and all donations go solely to the medical bills I have. I am not going to NYC, although I would love to go there instead!! I am not going to any exotic locations due to Dialysis. Hell, I haven't even been to KC, MO for at least 6 months. I used to go there every weekend... I sure miss those days!

I again am very thankful and grateful for everyone that reads this "jibberish" and knows that this isn't an easy time for me, and I am not ok with all the help i need. Look at it this way, i won't ever have a baby shower, and don't plan on having a wedding shower either. The Kidney Klassic can be both my wedding and baby shower(s). Have to laugh at that one!!
