Living on Borrowed Time
What if you were living on borrowed time?
Chris has suffered from neurological damage since birth, leading to endocrine issues as a child and diabetes in adulthood. He recently suffered from a wound that would not heal, amputations, a stroke, and acute kidney damage. Now doctors say a kidney transplant is necessary for his survival.
Today, his activities are quite limited due to overwhelming fatigue and nausea. Chris looks forward to the kidney transplant that will allow him to regain his sense of adventure. He is ready to spend many more years with his family adding pins to his map of memories, but right now, Chris needs your help.
