Transplant Type - Kidney

Latonya has faced many health complications in her young life. She was diagnosed with kidney failure when she was six months pregnant. What should have been a joyous time in her life was instead a time filled with worry about her health.

As she awaits a lifesaving kidney transplant, Latonya dreams of the day when she can return to work and provide for her daughter, Angel.

The average kidney transplant costs approximately $250,000, but that's just the beginning. Latonya's health insurance will not cover all her expenses, which are significant. She will need a lifetime of follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. These medications alone can cost as much as $5,000 a month, and they are as critical to her survival as the transplant itself.

Latonya currently endures painful dialysis treatments three times a week to keep her kidneys functioning. Her declining health has left her unable to work, making these financial challenges even more of a burden.
