Story
Tory is a 24-year-old Oregon State University graduate and graphic designer/artist. Tory grew up on a farm in Western Oregon and loves nature, photography amd his cat Cheeseburger. He was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in 2011 at age 11 years old and now need an urgent kidney transplant.
Finding a kidney donor can take years and 90,000 people are waiting to get a kidney donation in the U.S
Tory is in urgent need of a kidney because a limited number of people his age are willing to donate an organ. People in their 20's and 30's are busy attending college, having young children, and more.
Tory is waiting for a kidney donation, which means his health is compromised and he doesn't feel very well.
He is now currently on dialysis five days a week so this makes it hard to have the energy or time to work.
There are state resources to help with medical and finances but they are minimal and Tory doesn't have the extra support for basic resources. Any gifts to help Tory with support would be appreciated.
Some examples of reasons for needing support include pet care costs(very needed for emotional support), dialysis supplies, transportstion costs, purchasing signs and flyers to get the word out about kidney donation (Office Depot) etc.
