Requesting Help For A Friend

My friend Kender has been on dialysis since he was a child. He has spend countless hours at dialysis centers and as a result he has missed much of the things those with normal kidney function take for granted. Kender was able to get a home dialysis machine and gained greater control over his life. He is involved in politics, the community, and he is writing a book.

Kender must take caution in how much he is compensated for any work he does because his medical benefits will be greatly reduced or stopped if he exceeds some arbitrary limit set by the government. Therefore, he lives on limited funds.

Recently Kender lost his place of residence and is working on getting another. In order to keep his independence he must have a place to live and transportation which he also lost as a result of his recent setback. I am asking that if you have a few dollars to spare, please consider making a donation via Pay Pal. If you do not have Pay Pal but would like to make a donation please send me a note via my contact form and we can work out a way for you to help. I know we can make a difference with small donations. Look what it has done for Obama.

Kender’s site is here and there is a Pay Pal button in the left sidebar. I have also put up a button and 100% of all donations will be sent to him.

I know times are tough and the government just spent 700 billion dollars of our money but if you can help it would be greatly appreciated. He has a great group of friends who are working to help him out. We have been partly successful and I think we can get him back on his feet but we sure could use your help.

Thanks and God Bless

    God bless you, BD. He sent me a note the other day which said…he was able to go out and buy shampoo and razors and stuff, and wouldn’t have been able to do that if it weren’t for us.

    I keep thinking that…he doesn’t share a lot of these things with us, but when you take it all into perspective, it makes me feel really good to help in some small way to make things like that possible for him.
