Dilson ....13yr old boy who is on dialysis.

Hi Everyone,

There is an update on FA35 13 year old Dilson who is on dialysis and needs a kidney transplant in April.

UPDATE: February 21, 2011

13 year old Dilson, who has suffered from chronic kidney failure since 2008, is tired of staying home in bed. He isn't really strong enough to go to school, but he has decided that he wants to go this year no matter what. Though his mother, Rina, is worried about Dilson going to school, she is supporting him the best she can. Unfortunately, Dilson still needs regular dialysis, and his medical costs, which total about $107 per week ($427 per month) are an incredible strain on his single mom. She is sinking deeper and deeper into debt in order to help him survive until he is eligible for a transplant in April 2011, when she plans to give him one of her kidneys.

To help Rina get Dilson the care he needs, you can make a donation to FA35. For one time donations, go to Donate Now, and enter the amount in the "Other" box, with "FA35" in the "Details." To make a monthly donation toward Dilson's care, go to Donate Monthly, and put FA35 as the family name. Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated!
