Dan Gillam has lived with seizures since a 2004 car accident he and two siblings had been concerned in. When he skilled a collection of grand mal seizures in December 2019, he was taken to an emergency room in Portland. A number of assessments confirmed his kidneys had been failing, unrelated to the accident.

He’d developed IgA nephropathy, often known as Berger’s illness, a kidney situation that happens when an antibody referred to as immunoglobulin A (IgA) builds up within the kidneys. This leads to native irritation that, over time, can hamper the kidneys’ capacity to filter waste from the blood.

“Finally he’s going to wish a kidney transplant,” Diane stated. “Basically, there isn’t a remedy, because it’s an autoimmune illness. You possibly can attempt to extend the lifetime of the kidney with weight loss program and different issues, however finally you’ll want one other kidney.”

The communities of their church buildings have been very beneficiant, she stated. By their church, Salt Creek Baptist, and Dan and his spouse Liz’s church, the Candy Dwelling Mennonite Church, have donated to pay for journeys for therapy and evaluations from Mexico to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

“A big group of household proceed to share any updates we put up even earlier than GoFundMe. After I’ve accomplished different fundraisers, they’ve donated and proceed to donate and donate and donate,” Diane stated. “They pray. Verify in on how’s Dan doing. The church has been very supportive, both with love choices or different methods to help.”

Sadly, prayers are usually not sufficient as Dan’s well being points escalate. He’s been accepted to obtain mind surgical procedure for the seizures and a kidney transplant on the identical Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. His spouse Liz has stepped as much as be dwell kidney donor.

“It was a tough resolution for Dan and Liz. Her older sister had a motorcycle accident that wanted an excessive surgical procedure to take away a part of her mind. She’s by no means absolutely recovered. Liz has been one of many principal caregivers currently,” Diane defined. “She’s feeling very torn leaving that state of affairs. Her mother has early onset Alzheimer’s and pop has coronary heart valve points. To a sure extent, she feels she must be there for them, but in addition must be there for Dan. It’s very exhausting on her emotionally.”

The Gillam’s must transfer all the way down to Florida for no less than a 12 months for pre- and post-operation procedures and recoveries.

Garrie stated whereas their earlier insurance coverage ran out, Dan and Liz have since been accepted by a brand new insurance coverage firm that may pay for the procedures. However not the transfer nor different non-surgery bills. They determine they’ll want $50,000 to cowl these.

That’s why Diane arrange a GoFundMe web page ­— Kidney Transplant for Dan.

“Liz stated if 5,000 individuals give $100 apiece they’d attain their objective,” Diane stated.

Dan and Liz wish to be down in Jacksonville space by Jan. 12 for in-person appointments. However they’re hoping to maneuver, with their three sons, someday after Thanksgiving.

Sadly, their GoFundMe account has since stalled out at $4,100.

“That’s not even half of what they would wish to dwell in Florida. Not to mention different bills they’d have,” Diane stated. “Liz is estimating $20,000 for them to maneuver and have a spot initially.”

However she says it will be definitely worth the effort to present Dan the opportunity of one other 15 years of wholesome dwelling with out worrying about his kidneys.

“He’s a crackup. He was born on April Idiot’s Day. He nonetheless had the (embryonic) sack overlaying him. The physician stated that was an indication he was going to be a genius,” Diane recalled. “So in a while, in a child e book I wrote that. He learn or heard that. So, he continually brings it up. ‘After all, you realize I’m a genius.’ He’s obtained one of the best humorousness.”

“He loves his household. He’d provide the shirt off his again. And his religion is so strong. I inform him hopefully this may get higher. He’ll say, ‘Yah, God’s obtained this. No matter occurs, occurs.’”

Garrie stated Dan’s religion is so strong, he doesn’t maintain his state of affairs in opposition to God.

“We talked about that. Can’t get mad. God is aware of about it,” Garrie stated, his voice choking up. “Your religion doesn’t rely upon it. You’ll get your reward whenever you see him nose to nose.”

To donate, go to GoFundMe and seek for Kidney Transplant for Dan.
