Care for Kerr

CARE for KERR!

Hello everyone. Please help us raise funds.

Kerr Alnie Concon was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. She is already at the End Stage now. Medically speaking, her kidney function is already at 13% this moment. She was actually hospitalized last 02/24/2021 and was discharged last 02/28/2021. She was not able to go to work since 02/11/21 due to multiple check ups and laboratory tests and is now currently on leave as she was advised to rest for a month after hospital discharge. Doctors were not able to identify what triggered the kidney failure and thought so that it was hereditary as it was the cause of death of her brother, uncle and grandmother. Her family had already gone a lot of hardships so far and another happened.

What is Chronic Kidney Disease? A person can die or live by only using one kidney in our whole life. It means the other kidney is reserved and can be only used when the other one fails. When both kidney fail, all the poison in the body can’t be filtered anymore and the person will be poisoned and eventually will die. Here comes the dialysis treatment or blood filtration however it is done two-three times a week which has an estimated 5,000 pesos/session and this will be a lifetime treatment. Having hemodialysis is a very tiring treatment where you have to wait for 4-5 hours until the blood inside you body is filtered by the dialysis machine. It is also much more expensive compared to getting a Kidney Transplant. We are considering and hoping that getting a Kidney Transplant procedure will help Kerr have a better and normal life again. Against all the expenses and needs for her maintenance medicines, we cannot start to raise money and save for the thorough check up to start the procedure for her to have a kidney transplant. Her family are also doing their best now to raise funds in order to have Kidney Transplant however it takes a lot of money to do so.

We are knocking your hearts to seek financial assistance. Kerr is hesitant to do so but she needs help this time. Kerr is a friend of ours and we all knew how many sacrifices she had since before her illness. We knew that she is a person with character, friendly and generous. As you can see her, she might have no problems as she just keep on smiling but deep inside she’s already in a difficult situation. She had been fighting her own battles in silence since before and hesitant to let people know about her condition.

With this simple fund raising event, we hope that you can help her. If you want to give any financial assistance, you can do money transfer for the KIDNEY TRANSPLANT to these following: GCASH - 09157269371 Kerr C. METROBANK Account # - 7533808122937 Kerr Alnie L. Concon
