Perla Gonzalez
Transplant Type: Kidney
Perla Gonzalez is awaiting a new lease on life. Perla found out she was suffering from kidney disease when she was pregnant with triplets. The diagnosis came as a shock, because there is no family history of kidney issues.
Her health has declined over the years and she is now in stage-4 kidney failure. Doctors say a kidney transplant isnecessary and Perla is undergoing medical testing so she can be placed on the transplant waiting list.
During this difficult time, Perla is thankful for the love and support of her significant other, Martin, and their family and friends. Perla is the mother of five children, and looks forward to receiving a transplant that will give her back her energy and allow her to be the active mom she longs to be. Perla can’t wait to feel like herself again and be well enough to take care of her family and enjoy her life. B
ut right now, she needs your help. The average kidney transplant costs more than $414,000. And that’sonly the beginning. Even with insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, Perla still faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of her life, she will need follow-up care and anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to her survival as the transplant itself.
When Perla receives her transplant, she will have to stay near the transplant center while she recovers, incurring substantial expenses for travel, food, and lodging.
