Doodnauth Ramsarup
Transplant Type: Kidney
What if you were living on borrowed time?
Doodnauth Ramsarup is awaiting a new lease on life. He has battled kidney failure for years, and his condition has continued to worsen. Now doctors say a kidney transplant is necessary. While awaiting his transplant, he endures regular dialysis treatments, which take a toll on his quality of life.
During such a challenging time, Doodnauth is thankful for his wife, Kuntie, their daughter, grand-daughter, 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. Doodnauth looks forward to the transplant that will allow him to live his life with as few limitations as possible. More than anything he wants to be free from dialysis and be able to see his family and friends again, but right now, he needs your help.
Unfortunately, Doodnauth’s hope for a new life comes at a very high price.
The average kidney transplant costs approximately $442,000. And that’s only the beginning. Even with health insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, he faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.
Doodnauth lives more than 1,000 miles from the transplant center, and he incurs substantial expenses each time he visits for evaluations and doctors’ appointments. When he receives his transplant, Doodnauth and Kuntie will need to stay near the hospital, during recovery, adding to the financial strain.
You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to the National Foundation for Transplants in honor of Doodnauth.
