I normally wouldn't do this, but I could really use your help.
One of my best friends and his wife recently had a new baby girl and 3 weeks after she was born, they found out she has a rare disease called Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). It basically means cysts grow on her kidneys and at some they will shut down and she will need a dialysis or a kidney replacement. Needless to say the family is absolutely devastated and the baby, Grace, has been in Children's Hospital in San Diego for the past 3 weeks while the doctors try to get a few other problems with her heart and blood pressure under control. These issues were brought on by the kidney problem and they're not sure when she will get to go home.
I know you don't know them (or me really for that matter) but, I'm asking for your help if you have a couple extra bucks to spare for a donation to the family it would mean the world to me, and them. Hopefully insurance is going to cover most of the hospital costs, but my friend has had to take off from work for a while now, and he's in sales, so he has no money coming in and isn't sure when he'll get back to work. The family has been staying in a hotel near the hospital in San Diego so they can be with the baby as much as possible. I know they have expenses building up and I'm just trying to get some money together for them so they can focus on taking care of the baby, and not all the other bullshit.
We've put together a website to keep friends and family updated on her condition as well as a Paypal donation link. GraceLatasa.com
I'd appreciate any amount you could spare, as it's really going to a good cause and a great family. For any of us with kids, finding out your child has a disease like this would be our worst nightmare. When something like this happens it really makes you take a step back and realize how fragile life is, and you realize what is truly important in life. Thank you very much for reading this and helping out if you can.
