Cortnee's New Cath!

Cortnee received her new catheter on Friday so that she can begin dialysis Monday. She will be having it 3 days a week for now and hopefully that will start to make her feel better. Her kidney function is down to 10% and her kidney doctor said that dialysis would make her even stronger for surgery.

Not any fun...

Showing off her new cath!

We hope to have a date for surgery soon so keep watching for the news! 

Thank you for love and support.

Love, Cortnee & Alison

Let our story begin...

Meet Cortnee! 

At the age of 13, Cortnee was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. She actively got involved in Diabetes Camps and soon moved up to be a counselor. This helped to educate her at a young age about her diabetes. 

Cortnee is now 42 years old and a single mom of a beautiful 15 year old girl. She has had many struggles with health due to her diabetes but a few months ago she heard the most devastating news. Cortnee is in Stage 5 Kidney Failure and needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible. To make this even more tragic, she lost her job. Her transplant coordinators were able to help get her insurance to fund the surgery but she really needs our help to pay for her living and medical expenses that aren't covered by her insurance. Hopefully, a miracle will happen and Cortnee will be able to receive her kidney transplant soon. We have set up a gofundme account to help with her expenses.

We will be updating this blog to give you more details about her journey.
