Help for kieran while he has dialysis training

$830 of $4,000 goal
Given by 19 generous donors in 8 weeks

My mate kieran has kidney failure and is training in wellington on dialysis for 8-12 week's. looking for help for rent, bills, food etc.

Nelson / Tasman

Kieran has had chronic kidney failure for 8 years, it results from an illness called all ports syndrome that affects his hearing as well.

Kieran only 27 and works hard he is a great guy and is always positive about his situation. He never complains and is always putting other people before himself.

He managed to get a kidney transplant with a kidney from his father but it only lasted a year and so he is now back on dialysis.

He is currently in wellington to begin training for haemo dialysis which he will be able to do at home when he is finished. It involves being hooked up to a machine with two needles in your arm for five hours at a time, three days a week to get rid of excess fluid and toxins from the blood that the kidney would usually filter.

the training takes 8-12 weeks and he can't work during that time and is away from his partner who is living in Nelson.

I am trying to raise a little bit of money to help him out with Rent, bills, food etc . Any little bit would help. Thanks for your time.
