Hello!
My husband and I live in Connecticut. My husband has been suffering from End Stage Renal Disease for the past 4 1/2 yrs. He is 46yrs old and we have three teenage children. My husband is required to be on dialysis five-six hours a day, seven days a week. He is totally disabled and unable to work. He has been hospitalized over 200 times and is very much in need of a kidney transplant and actively working with Yale New Haven’s Transplant Team. I am my husbands caretaker, due to his illness he is unable to be left unattended. We support our family solely on SS Disability Benefits. His illness has caused a tremendous financial hardship on our family.
