Fight Kidney Failure

Sierra spent a total of 12 days in the hospital. She lost over 70-80% of her kidney function which will not recover. The goal is to get her stable enough so that she can get a new kidney. She has been placed on a form of chemotherapy which is an infusion treatment that they hope will help stabilize her condition so she can get on the kidney transplant list. She has been put on multiple medications to help with this condition and will be receiving dialysis treatments three times a week in order to survive.

Overnight Sierra’s life has done a complete 180. While she is grateful to have health insurance the medical bills will quickly be stacking up. Her immune system is very low and she still struggles with doing basic everyday functions so she is unable to get a job at this time to help with paying her bills. She will be responsible for any deductibles, copays, and out of pocket costs that the health insurance does not cover. Her parents flew out to New York to be with her and will need to stay out there while she receives her treatments which will mean additional housing costs. They will also need to obtain a vehicle to provide transportation for her treatments. This is a huge financial hardship on her family and she needs these treatments in order to survive.
