Hi friends, I’m back at square one with my kidney journey.

On Sunday 9/20 after coughing throughout the entire night, I couldn’t breathe very well.

I made my way to the nearest hospital and they did what they could for me, diagnosing me with pulmonary edema. It seems that my transplanted kidney is not working the way it should, therefore leading to fluid building up in my lungs.

I was then transferred to another hospital that could treat me better as I am a transplant patient.

As I write this, I’m awaiting to hear what my next steps are, assuming I’m going to get listed for another transplant.

I had a catheter placed in my neck and then removed to have a replacement in my chest.

The whole situation puts me out of work for the foreseeable future.

The biggest issue is I really have no idea how I’m going to pay rent this time around before my SSI benefits can kick in.

I’ve used up most of my credit and savings to stay afloat this year and I didn’t count on falling this far behind with my health.

I’ve never had a negative balance in the bank and it’s hard to be this vulnerable and ask for help.

I’ve looked at loans online and the terms are absolutely insane, 400% interest over 7 years and such.

I don’t understand. I have until 10/5 to make my rent and nowhere to turn.

Please help.
