My name is Ryan. I am a Chef by trade, and an animal lover, as well as a type 1 diabetic. I am currently living with End Stage Renal Failure. I have been diagnosed with End Stage Arenal Failure for the past 8 years, and actively on daily PD dialysis treatments for the past 5 years, and waiting for the blessing of a new kidney. Both preparations and aftercare have a hefty price tag that I am hoping to be able to raise funds to help with. Any funds raised will be used toward after transplant surgery medical care, housing (as you have to stay near the hospital for 2 months of rejection testing), medications, and any other miscellanious fees.

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated as this illness has finally caught up with my physical body and taken me out of my profession for the time being. I look forward to the date when I recieve a transplant as so I may return to my profession and passion!
