Angel “Danny” Tirado
Transplant Type: Kidney
Update: Danny received a kidney from a living donor on September 19, 2018!
Danny Tirado is awaiting a new lease on life. His left kidney never developed, and his right kidney is in stage-4 kidney failure. Danny is only nineteen, and his illness severely limits his activities. Doctors say a kidney transplant is critical.
During this difficult time, Danny is thankful for his family and friends. He wishes they didn’t have to be so concerned about his health, but he is grateful for their love and support. Before his health began to decline, Danny enjoyed BMX and basketball, but these days he is no longer able to participate in sports due to his illness. Danny is looking forward to the transplant that will allow him to live a more normal life with as few limitations as possible. But right now, he needs your help.
The average kidney transplant costs more than $414,000. And that’s only the beginning. Even with insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, Danny still faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.
You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to NFT in honor of Danny. If you'd prefer to send your gift by mail, please send it to the NFT Florida Transplant Fund, 3249 W Sarazen's Circle, Suite 100, Memphis, TN 38125. Please be sure to write "in honor of Danny Tirado" on the memo line.
Thank you for your generosity!
