James D. Drury

Transplant Type:  Kidney

What if you were living on borrowed time?

James Drury is awaiting a new lease on life. He was diagnosed with stage 3 renal disease, and he had to start enduring regular dialysis treatments in 2017.  Dialysis treatments cause extreme exhaustion and take a toll on his quality of life.  Both of his kidneys are failing, and now doctors now say a kidney transplant is necessary.

This has been a difficult time for James, as he is not able to be as active as he once was.  James is thankful for his son, family and friends who have been by his side every step of the way.  James wishes they didn’t need to be so concerned about his health, but he is happy for their love and support. Before his health began to decline, James enjoyed taking road trips and visiting family, but these days his activities are extremely limited. He looks forward to the transplant that will allow him to live life with as few limitations as possible, but right now, he needs your help.

Unfortunately, James’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.

You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to NFT in honor of James.  If you'd prefer to send your gift by mail, please send it to the NFT Florida Transplant Fund, 3249 W. Sarazen’s Circle, Ste 100, Memphis, TN 38125. Please be sure to write "in honor of James Drury” in the memo line.

Thank you for your generosity!
